MIDI lighting/pyro rig Rammstein test

A quick test of a custom built (read: circuit board, mass of wiring and a shit-ton of relays!) MIDI lighting controller, with an output for small pyrotechnics. The "Paul/Richard-straightjacket-arm" seems to work ok, managed not to set myself on fire, or burn my mate's guitar! The pyros are supposedly cool burning, but they do get very warm, and the flame would probably set fire to most things given enough time. So best leave stupid stuff like this to Rammstein, and those who are insane. There's a band called Mammoth who'd do this kinda shit too. They're nuts.

How did you do the pyro on your arm? thanks

[Corvid]

@bnosam Basically it's made of indoor firework candles with Nichrome igniters, wired in parallel and controlled by the MIDI box.

@Corvid Thanks, roughly how much did it cost you to get all that set up?

[sublime0nightmare]

@MsLittlemee I'm sure we'll hit Europe at some point! :D

@Corvid I wanted to come uninvited to see the show but now I can't. We had planned to have a city break in the UK, in London, from 30 April to 3rd May 'cause we have a bank holiday here but than the prince popped the question and we gave it up. No point with the crowd and everything. We changed destination so why don't you guys give a show in Amsterdam. There's a lot of water to jump into when somebody catches fire.. ;)

@MsLittlemee Ironically the first "show" this may see will be in my friend's living room... quite probably some "live" Rammstein covers. He's got his own house so, pyros and smoke will be plentiful!

[MsLittlemee]

@Corvid Then, I'm waiting for another amazement to come;) But think of a better venue for the show unless you have a really legitimate reason for burning down the parents' house;) .

[Corvid]

@MsLittlemee Thanks! Beats spending silly money on the real thing, although the need for that will come at some point!

Boys and their toys;) Sweet. Your imagination guys never fails to amaze me. ( it's not an ironic comment, I mean it)
