If you're wondering what the 2013 Ford Fusion (http://autoblog.com/ford/fusion) has to do with techno music... well, join the club - we have no idea. We'll defer to an expert, musician Joshua Harrison:
"Techno music, by its nature, is very similar to the makeup of a car... In both cases, there are lots of little pieces mechanically put together. Just like a car, a Techno song has many elements that serve their own small purpose, and the masters of the craft are those who can put it all together and make everything work as one solid piece."
Who are we to argue?
In any case, Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford) has used an old trick in a somewhat new way in conscripting artists to create techno tracks using sounds made by its Fusion, in this case a 2.0-liter Hybrid model. Listen to the three resulting tracks, then scroll down below (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/05/24/2013-ford-fusion-does-the-techno-sound-collage-music-thing/#continued) to watch a video explaining the process and showing the musicians working their magic.
Even if you don't like techno, it's at least interesting to hear how each track is so wildly different from the other two. And if you do like what you hear, maybe you should consider attending the Movement Electronic Festival (http://www.facebook.com/movementdetroit) in Detroit, May 26-28.
