How This Car Sculpts Sound To Create Harmonic Acoustics | The New Symphony

Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch is a musician and film composer. Classically trained but now working in a very modern idiom across soundtracks, sampling, field recordings and performance, Levienaise-Farrouch has been nominated for both Ivor Novello and British Independent Film Awards. She began her career studying piano, but these days she is immersed in finding new ways of combining acoustic instruments with digital sampling technology.
For Levienaise-Farrouch, music is a spatial canvas, a way of taking the listener on a journey. “I don't necessarily think in terms of frequencies but rather in what's called ‘timbre’ in musical language,” she says. “It’s like somebody’s voice, instruments have a specific texture to them-a violin will have a different identity to a piano, for example. I also think in terms of bass, mids and trebles, and how different instruments can cover each area. Then there is panning-deciding where each instrument sits in space. This can also be dynamic-an instrument can appear to move, which is exciting.”
New technology has always been a driving force behind Levienaise-Farrouch’s work, as is the art of marrying music to image. “The first time I was really blown away by the power of a film score was when I watched Blade Runner the first time,” she recalls. “The opening track by Vangelis evoked a completely new world, a reality and a power I didn’t know music could have. When I’m in a car, I prefer to listen to music as a passenger. Then I can just drift off and treat the moving landscape as if it was a film. Ideally, you should always listen to music with this kind of intent, so you can become immersed in its journey and story.”
With its powerful 27-speaker Meridian Signature sound system and unique Body and Soul Seats, Range Rover Sport SV assists and enhances this spatial approach to composition. In addition, the car’s sophisticated onboard noise-canceling creates an impressive acoustic environment for listening to all kinds of music. “It’s important to note that this doesn’t just cancel out powertrain noise, which is relatively straightforward, but also road noise, which is much more complicated as it results from more sources and paths that can generate noise.”
