Motors: Ted talks about his piece for "Transient Harmony"

Motors was originally written for our Art in the Loop show last year at Prairie Logic. The electronic elements are made up of field recordings of car engines, trains, and a particularly noisy food truck generator. Various different filters created the sounds of this piece, with the flanger probably being the most recognizable. I also created a sampler instrument from the generator motor that turned into an awesome organ-like instrument. Often the electronics are more ambient while Michael, Russell, and myself are more active, contrasting some of our more pensive pieces with something that is loud and energetic!
