The lamenting engines

Toronto Indy Lights race reimagined by Cities and Memory. Taking the starting point of discovering the key that the car engines roar at is Gbm, we created a piece with multiple synth and instrument parts in the same key, to tap into and express those elements of the pure sound of a high performance engine that can sound oddly mournful, as if the engines are lamenting to the world as they whizz past. The synth parts are complemented by various tracks from the field recording at different speeds, which move around the stereo field as if they're racing across it.
