Focus sounds great
IN a clever feat of musical ingenuity, an orchestra playing instruments created entirely from car parts performs the soundtrack to the new Ford Focus television commercial.
This harmonious masterpiece is the work of two American composers who have taken the concept of car sounds to the extreme. Hollywood film composer Craig Richey and New York sound designer Bill Milbrodt turned 21 parts from the new Ford Focus into musical instruments and arranged them to be played by an orchestra.
Milbrodt's team took apart a Ford Focus five-door hatchback. By the time the orchestra had been assembled for the photo shoot, Milbrodt's team had constructed 31 instruments.
