Abstract
He is considered the inventor of the radio and alternating current: Nikola Tesla, brilliant engineer and eccentric. His greatest love, however, was not technology, but a pigeon. Sound composition about electricity and electrifying feelings.
In New York, on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 40th Street, there is a sign: "Nikola Tesla Corner". Between 1884 and 1943, the inventor came here countless times to feed pigeons. Sometimes he took sick animals with him to the hotel where he lived permanently. There he nursed them back to health. "Over the years, I have fed thousands of pigeons. There was one that was special. It was beautiful, pure white with gray speckles on its wings." Her eyes shone more for Tesla than any invention he had developed in his laboratory.
Colin Black celebrates Tesla's pigeon in a composition of sounds and music.
