This is a rumbling, timber-shivering electronic performance by art group Disinformation inspired by the work of radio pioneer Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). The two performers aim to create a powerful sonic and visual environment triggered by a range of antique lab instruments and environmental sound sources including the National Grid.

Disinformation first performed versions of the piece in London in 1996. A performance at The Museum of Installation the following year dislodged masonry from the building and triggered car alarms, according to both the museum curator and administrator.

Some have suggested that the pulsing bass sounds generated by the piece accord with the most primal sounds, such as the beating of the human heart, the rumble of thunder and seismic activity.
