"This project uses just two sound sources: chiefly the one offered by Cities and Memory, a recording of a 1971 Triumph TR6 engine by lonskwad2020 @ https://freesound.org/s/435212/. To supplement this there is also a single chord hit and a drum loop taken from 'AU Profiles – Frank Jenkins – Another Case History and a Glance at Auburn University's Vocational Rehabilitation Curriculum' https://archive.org/details/aup-252-program-5, chosen as it dates from the same day that the Triumph TR6 was first released, 1969-09-19.
"The piece was intended as a study on the potential for using the recently released FluCoMa toolkit https://www.flucoma.org/ within the SuperCollider environment. As it turned out the TR6 recording did not seem particularly amenable to analysis and resynthesis in this way. However, the OnsetSlice tool in mode 9 produced excellent results in slicing the drum break at the end of the Auburn University recording.
"The final recording comprises a single unedited livecoded performance in SuperCollider, with the title taken from the script of a TR6 advert at https://youtu.be/D_b2trPkrns"

This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
