For those who may be wondering about the name, Ondes is French for “waves.” But if you know a little something about the history of electronic music, you might also recognize the word. The Ondes Martenot is an early electronic instrument with a sound not dissimilar to that of the more widely known Theremin. Unlike the Theremin, which is played by moving your hands in space, the Ondes Martenot has a keyboard and a sliding ring which allows the player to glide between pitches. Below each key is a little indentation for the finger to stop on. These indentations allow for precise pitch intonation, something that is neary impossible to acheive on the Theremin. (Unless, of course, your name is Clara Rockmore). Because several 20th century composers (notably Olivier Messiaen) composed for the instrument, the Ondes Martenot is still taught in some music conservatories to this day, though it’s a bit expensive to get a hold of one yourself. You might also have seen Jonny Greenwood performing one in Radiohead.

tinyTesla: the Little Singing Tesla Coil Anyone Can Build
tinyTesla, a new Kickstarter project to fund a little MIDI Tesla coil kit that’s designed to be easy to build.
tinyTesla is a desktop MIDI Tesla coil kit designed to be suitable for beginners or veterans in electronics. The project has blown past its $20,000 fundraising goal, with more than 10 times that amount already pledged. Backers can get a kit to build a MIDI tesla coil for about $150.
The Tesla coil’s lightning heats up air and creates pressure waves that are audible as sound. The more times per second the lightning fires, the higher the pitch created.

We’re also introducing oneTeslaTS, tinyTesla’s big brother.

Listening in on Kevin Paschold
http://soundcloud.com/kevinnov290 video by the29nov films
Kevin Paschold grew up in one of the most beautiful landscapes of Germany – Thuringia, in a small town called Sonneberg which is famous for toy making.
There he started with friends a project called “the29nov” – organising events and playing music. Later he moved to the creative melting point Berlin to start making videos for techno tracks with his schoolmate Sebastian Kökow.
So they became the very well-known duo “the29nov films” which is nowadays respected in the techno scene – from fans, artists and label owners.
Our special today shows you some music videos by the29nov films for tracks that were produced by Kevin Paschold himself.
