I believe the Telsa coil we will be using for this (if we do it) is the one in that first video, which was made by Steve Ward. He and Lippold Haken (Continuum inventor) are working on interfacing the two. It will indeed be frightening.
I was just thinking that "Darkness/Earth in Search of a Sun" by Jan Hammer would sound really awesome with a Telsa coil in place of the Minimoog.
