The Engine Songs V8: the Spotify Playlist that beats together with Urus Performante

SantAgata Bolognese – WEBWIRE

Deep, and rhythmical: that is the sound of the Lamborghini V8 engine as described by Alex Trecarichi and Mauro Mautone, internationally-renowned music producer and Lamborghini NHV whole vehicle coordinator respectively, when they unveiled the third The Engine Songs V8 compilation, inspired this time by the sonorous pounding of Urus Performante1.

The deep sound of drums: that is the instrument that more than any other represents the combustion effect of the V8 and emphasizes the movement of the pistons inside the cylinders, explained Mautone, starring together with Trecarichi in the third episode of The Engine Songs: Lets Talk V8 video interviews.

Following the launch on Spotify of the two playlists that harmonize with the V12 and V10 engines of Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae2and Huracn Tecnica3 on Spotify, the musical celebration of Lamborghini internal combustion engines continues with a new V8 chapter, inspired this time by sounds able to emerge from even the lowest revs. The Urus delivers explosive torque as early as 2,000 rpm with its kettledrum and bass drum sounds that pound incessantly and increasingly as the speed crescendos.

To create the playlist, as always I started from the analysis of the basic frequency of the engine, explained Trecarichi, creator of the trilogy The Engine Songs together with the Lamborghini sound engineers. In the case of Urus, the parameter that returned was 50 hertz, matching the essential vibrations of drums. So, an important portion of the playlist had to be represented by rhythm.

By once again applying the formulas of the Fourier Transform and with the help of artificial intelligence, the three expressive stages of the Urus 8-cylinder engine (idle, cruise and top speed) once more found their corresponding sound in a total of 24 tracks to listen to while accelerating, downshifting, curving and braking, augmenting the drivers feelings of engagement and reward that are studied down to the smallest detail when designing Lamborghini engines.

When idling, the Urus Performante engine sings in C, the same tonality as the electric salsa of Un gitano perdido by Gabriel Dominguez. At 4,000 rpm, the vibrations match G, from which the soul of Boogie Fever is unleashed. At 7,000 rpm, the syncopated D SHARP of White Lies and their Is my love enough? rises.

It is a marriage between engine and music that once again with the V8 The Engine Songs is interpreted according to the principles of psychoacoustics: the science that bridges suggestive emotion and sound physics to transform the experience behind the wheel into emotion and imagination.

Driving Urus Performante with The Engine Songs playing in the background makes you want to travel northward without a precise destination, said Trecarichi, with his imagination wandering.

I, on the other hand, imagined a rally track deep in the interior of the United States, having fun at the wheel with my best friends, concluded Mautone.

The new Performante version of Urus has become a point of reference in its segment thanks to the setting the record for standard production SUVs on the Pikes Peak route in Colorado, posting the time of 10:32:064: 17 seconds less than that of the previous record holder.

On show in its dynamic guise for the first time on October 20 at the Vallelunga racetrack in Rome, with its power raised to 666 CV and reduced in weight overall, it offers the best weight-to-power ration in the segment. It develops 850 Nm of torque at just 2,300 rpm, accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 306 km/h.

Remo D’Souza back to work, shoots songs in Goa for BLive Music

After a dry spell due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian film industry is now slowly but steadily getting back to its feet. Director Remo D’Souza has returned to the ‘lights, camera, action’ routine with a renewed energy, and shot a song in Goa just last week.

With all government-mandated protocols in place, the team ensured a limited crew, proper sanitisation, temperature check and a compulsory Covid-19 test for all crew members, keeping in mind that precaution is always better than cure. At the same time, proper planning and co-ordination went a long way in enhancing everyone’s productivity.

The ace director-choreographer, who has redefined dance films in Hindi cinema, lent his creative touch to the video of a song titled “Log kya kahenge”, featuring an all-boys gang including Punit Pathak, Dharmesh Yelande, Rahul Shetty, Abhinav Shekhar, Salman Yusuff Khan and Sushant, apart from Remo himself. The song is produced by BLive Music. No prizes for guessing that with such an array of talent, the video will be one to watch out for.

Shot in a span of two-three days, the song was filmed across various locations in Goa, especially the dockyard. It is sung, written and composed by Abhinav Shekhar, who is a music and dance artiste. Abhinav’s video singing in front of Dhoni had gone viral few months back.

Remo shot for two more songs. Both romantic numbers, while one of them sung by ishaan khan stars Siddharth gupta (vaste fame) and Karishma sharma while another song sung by Abhishek Dutta starring salman yusuf and shakti mohan.

Both the songs are spectularly shot one of them is a dance theme based while the other has a deep love story…

Remo D’Souza says, “It was exhilarating to return to a working set after a long time. The experience was a little different, but the energy and enthusiasm to put on our dancing shoes for the camera again, following the pause in our work lives, was unmatched. Hope the audience will enjoy listening to the song, and watching the video, as  much as we enjoyed making it.”

Mahesh Kukreja from BLive Music, says, “We are always happy about promoting fresh voices. Abhinav Shekhar has been an up and coming talent, and we are sure his latest song ‘Log kya kahenge’ will touch a chord with listeners. With a talent as formidable as Remo D’Souza helming the video, which also features some of the best dancers in Indian showbiz today, we are sure the result is innovative and interesting. Wait for the launch on BLive.”

Besides “Log kya kahenge”, Remo also made the most of his time in Goa, and shot two more songs for BLive.
