The final car was capable of an impressive top speed of around 140mph.īut obviously, it was the C52’s bodywork which made it so extraordinary.
The 1997cc engine now developed 158bhp and was integrated into the 1900’s existing tubular frame steel chassis, with the modifications resulting in an overall weight of just 735kg. Using the 1900 as a basis for the C52 to save money, the competition department took the design of the car’s 1.9-litre four-cylinder iron-block engine and fashioned an aluminium block with an increased bore size. But the competition department was allowed a stay of execution, partly hinging on the promise that it could create an image-boosting race car for entrance into the 1952 Le Mans and Mille Miglia, with the potential to be sold to amateur racers. While the company had just taken the 1951 Formula 1 World Championship, post-War cash shortages within the firm led to its withdrawal from the competition, with the 1900 Berlina road car deemed to be of higher importance.
#Disco volante meaning plus
Via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.The C52 was conceived during an unstable period for Alfa Romeo. Includes unlimited streaming of Artificiero - Disco Tantra (Inc. Significantly, I find their lecture of my track both accurate and heavily theirs simultaneously, which proves, again, that apparent contradictions aren't so if we are able to see a bigger picture than our narrow mind usually do." Maybe this is the reason (this is a guess) why it's the track picked by the mighty Esplendor Geométrico to remix and end the album. It's a deliberately chaotic, trance-like attemp to reproduce the aural components of non-ordinary states of conciousness. The title track has its origins in an improvisation I used to make live as a coda for "El sendero de la mano izquierda" ("The Left Hand Path"), included in "Masa negra". It can be seen for some people as a happy accident, but for some others (including me) it is evidence of the power of subconscious. Until, messing around with a reverb plugin, I came accross the ominous sound that you can hear at the beginning of the track, which reminded me of the sound of an echocardiogram. I had tried to use that title several times in different projects, but for some reasons never seemed appropriate. "Carbomedic nº 25" is the brand and model of my artificial cardiac valve (that makes me a bionic man). Therefore, for the track I used vocal samples taken from a version of "Silent Night" sung by a Bulgarian choir, and with its title gave back the meaning of the myth to its origins. For this very reason, Christianity placed the myth of the birth of Jesus on this date. From that date (which marks the longest night of the year) on, the sun starts to regain its throne against darkness. The third track is called "Sol Invicto" ("Sol Invictus"), named after the festivities which used to take place in Ancient Rome on the winter solstice. As a musician who also plays in a rock band, my view is Music is only one, no matter which shape it takes to come into being. But, to me, that doesn't make any difference. It follows the steps of the former track, albeit with a shorter, darker, more techno-oriented presentation. "Metal volante" ("Flying metal") came chronologically after that. It fully exemplifies the aim: dance beats, slowed down tempo, no melody to stick in your brain, a no-hurry approach and, on top of that, sounds and drones which appeal to (let's say) alternative states of conciousness. From back then is "Mi lado oscuro es el que más brilla" ("My dark side is the brightest"), the oldest track of the bunch, composed soon after "Masa negra" was released. I started to work intermitently in this album a couple of years ago. The path that goes upwards also goes downwards at the same time. At the same time, let's not be too frivolous. We are speaking of music with a (smaller or bigger) hedonistic component, so let's not be too serious.
This goal, nevertheless, has to be put in perspective. In other words, to connect body and mind, flesh and spirit. "The album, as it is declared in its unambiguous title, is an attempt to marry club culture with esoteric vibes I'm very fond of. As the icing on the cake we find to the mighty Esplendor Geométrico on the remix duties. The first volume titled "Disco Tantra" comes from the hand of artificiero, who delivers another brilliant work of industrial electronics and esoteric atmospheres.
