Making of World's First Car Orchestra
In 2010, Marios Joannou Elia created the world's first car orchestra as part of his open air multimedia symphony "autosymphonic". The overall process included numerous car castings. A total of 120 cars were casted and over 1200 car sounds were recorded and documented. The car orchestra consisted of a selection of 80 cars: classic cars, supercars, racing cars, roadsters, limousines and luxury vehicles, microcars, American cars, pickups, buses and trucks [Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Maserati, Wiesmann, Jaguar, Audi, Cadillac, Pontiac, Trabant etc.].
