Synopsis

Product Description
Robert Black ... bass David Cossin ... percussion Felix Fan ... cello Christine Southworth ... voice Philippa Thompson ... voice Eddie Whalen ... guitar Evan Ziporyn ... keyboards & clarinets Van de Graaff Generator and Tesla Coils operated by Jeannine Trezvant, recorded by Joel Gordon June 18, 2006 Boston Museum of Science Theater of Electricity Liner Notes: The sound of electricity at its rawest and most majestic - sparks, booms, lightning bolts, sizzling corona and low hums from giant motors - intermingle with the sounds of cello, bass, guitar, piano, clarinets, percussion and voice. Christine Southworth created Zap! in 2004 to explore these possibilities, using the Boston Museum of Science's Theater of Electricity as her venue and instrument. Its centerpiece - MIT Professor Robert Van de Graaff's eponymous Generator, was born in 1931 as one of the world's largest atom smashers. It is still the largest of its kind in the world, standing forty-feet tall and producing up to 1.5 million volts of electricity. Zap!, a composition in seven parts, takes the sounds of this machine, two large Tesla Coils, and a Jacob's Ladder, merged with rock rhythms and sweet melodies performed by Robert Black, David Cossin, Felix Fan, Philippa Thompson, Eddie Whalen, & Evan Ziporyn. The resulting music is ... electrifying!
