Langsame Motoren, “Ships passing in the night”

Creating the sound of ships’ engines and with sine wave tone generators using only prime number frequencies.

Langame Motoren is the 3^rd track from the Album, Primzahlräume by Vic Berry.

Memories of the River Humber are imagined:

“Asymmetric spinning tops, always turning, always wobbling, like cams turning, piston shafts moving, tugboats on the river passing in the night fog.”

“I remember when I was a child my dad would show me the ships in Hull dock. He recounted seeing the Graf Zeppelin, children left their school classrooms to see the giant airship pass overhead.”

Vic Berry
