There are actually two Altantic Cables.
The most recent Atlantic Cable resides in landlocked Prague and is the solo
project of Canadian-born Tyson Cosby. Atlantic Cable is a history-of-science
inspired semi-acoustic outing. Drawing heavily on influences ranging from
Eric Satie to Facepuller to Wild West comics, Atlantic Cable released a debut
full-length CD ôDarwin Avenueö.
Darwin Avenue is a mult-instrumental collection of Prague indie musicians
whose day jobs include set designer, programmer, archeology archivist, record
distributor, 7th grader, logistics dispatcher, doctor, telephone repairman,
hospital orderly, sociologist, spy, dog, computerchip engineer, and BBC radio
broadcaster.
Since its inception on December 25, 2004 above the new Delvita supermarket in
the Zizkov district of Prague, Atlantic Cable has transmitted live from
Poland, Moravia, Germany, Finland and Sweden with plans for France, Austria,
Switzerland and Spain and Moravia in October 2005.
The primary Atlantic Cable lays on the floor of the Atlantic stretching from
Ireland to Newfoundland and was the first transatlantic telegraph cable
uncoiled from the hull of the steamship The Great Eastern, the largest of her
era, in 1866. New YorkÆs City Hall was nearly lost to fire due to the
jubilant mayhem in the streets celebrating the first transmission by Queen
Victoria. Firefighters were barely able to reach the blaze before it raged
out of control. It was while working on a project to increase the
transmission capabilities that Thomas Edison accidentally invented the
phonograph.
