Ford Focus Musical Instruments

A new ad for the Ford Focus used music produced from instruments made out of car parts! Audioporn Central has the story behind the ad.

Composer Craig Richey, sound designer Bill Milbrodt, and friends used a five-door Focus fresh from the factory floor, took it apart, then used the car’s many parts to create 31 musical instruments. We’re not talking flutes and trombones here, folks. The musical maestros used Focus parts to create such original works as a Rear Suspension Spike Fiddle and Door Harp.

    I always knew there was a reason I liked Fords. Lol
    I wonder who was just sitting around and thought, let's make an orchestra out of a car?

    Here, listen to this beautiful music while we destroy with environment with our products. There's nothing to worry about, move along, enjoy the music.

    If they had used a Ford Focus built on a Friday, the music would sound off key....
