It is called Preludio and it sounds like the Future. FPT Industrial and Giorgio Moroder rock the world of powerful engines with the launch of a very special playlist on Spotify.
Scan the code to access the FPT Industrial playlist on Spotify “The Sound of the Future”
Conceived and created by the legendary 3-time Oscar-winning Italian composer Giorgio Moroder, the playlist is certain to make you dance. It features the artist’s new creation for FPT Industrial, Preludio, a 4-minute hit, becoming the unique and distinctive soundscape for FPT Industrial engines.
In history, Preludio (Prelude) is a short piece of music – generally an introduction – and for FPT Industrial, it cues a musical performance before the engine performance begins. A part of Preludio will be implemented as a welcome turn-key sound in all the vehicles powered by the next-generation of innovative and sustainable engines.
Scan the code to access the FPT Industrial playlist on Spotify “The Sound of the Future” The Spotify playlist also features a top selection from the genius of Giorgio Moroder, with some of his favorite hits, including Donna Summer’s “Love to love you
Baby” and “I feel love”, Blondie’s “Call me”, David Bowie’s “Cat people”, Freddie Mercury’s “Love kills”, Irene Cara’s “What a Feeling” and obviously Moroder’s “From here to eternity”. Users can also listen to more recent hits including Giorgio by Moroder by Daft Punk and Deja Vu by Sia.
The playlist also includes four special episodes, recorded by the FPT Industrial team featuring Giorgio Moroder. The “Designed for Planet Earth” episodes are dedicated to the four features of the Cursor X, the futuristic 4.0 Power Source Concept that embodies how the Brand conceives innovation, also reflecting on its commitment to alternative fuels research and development.
FPT Industrial can’t wait to share Preludio, it will make you dance. Click here to listen to the Preludio Soundtrack or join the Brand on January 8 during CES in La Vegas, where Giorgio Moroder will release Preludio during a live session (Convention Center, South Hall 2, booth 26236).
