Finnbogi Pétursson - Tesla Tune

Review by Ahmet DERELİ

Finnbogi Pétursson's latest album, Tesla Tune, is a captivating and innovative exploration of sound and space. The Icelandic artist, known for his large-scale installations and sculptures, has crafted a collection of tracks that draw on the raw power of electricity and the mystical properties of the Tesla coil.

The album opens with "Arc," a pulsating and hypnotic track that builds to a crescendo of crackling energy. From there, Pétursson takes the listener on a journey through a range of sonic landscapes, from the eerie and atmospheric "Phantom," to the driving and industrial "Generator."

Throughout the album, Pétursson's use of the Tesla coil is both mesmerizing and unsettling. The coil's distinctive sound, a buzzing and crackling that borders on the otherworldly, is woven into each track, adding texture and depth to the already intricate compositions.

Despite the experimental nature of the album, Pétursson never loses sight of the importance of melody and rhythm. Tracks like "Spark" and "Pulse" have a driving beat that is impossible to resist, while "Resonance" is a haunting and beautiful piece that showcases Pétursson's skill as a composer.

Tesla Tune is an impressive and immersive album that rewards repeated listens. Pétursson's use of the Tesla coil as a musical instrument is both daring and inspired, and his ability to create evocative and powerful soundscapes is second to none.

Comments

Tesla Tune (2014) is dedicated to the inventor Nikola Tesla. The piece emits sound that comes from an alternating current transformer, which is lead through a programmer (time-adjusted frequency equalizer and switch box) to channel the sound through eight different outputs—pipes. These eight pipes of different lengths hang from a ceiling, producing what seem to be different sounds, but the frequency is always the same, 60 Hz. The lengths of the pipes affect the pitch.

Finnbogi Pétursson, born in Reykjavík, Iceland, has been exhibiting since 1980 and is one of Iceland’s most prominent light and sound artists. He is known for works that fuse sound, light, sculpture, architecture, and drawings. Sound—a crucial element—is typically incorporated into spare sculptural installations. Pétursson represented Iceland at the Venice Biennial in 2001 with his monumental sound installation Diabolus. His artworks are held in numerous private collections as well as at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, Austria, and the National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavík, Iceland. Permanent installations are at Landsvirkjun, Vatnsfellsvirkjun (an electric power plant) Reykjavík University, and the Reykjavík Energy Headquarters. Finnbogi lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland.
