Hi all
First I would like to thank you all for your contributions to this assignment of mine – It has been of great help while composing the second track and writing the assignment!
I have now handed in the assignment and is about to prepare myself for the defense in a week from now – I would therefore like to hear your opinion on my second attempt at capturing the spirit of Porsche.
I decided to make my main focus the engine, as it seems like this is something everybody expects to hear in a track like this. And I aimed at a commercial-like tune instead of a whole song.
Now the intro is working fine I think, but when the engine starts, that’s when I wasn’t able to get any further with the material I had available – So what you hear is only to illustrate the idea, and not how I wanted it to sound if I had better recordings of the engine running. I needed good recordings of the car driving fast and changing gear and such. But I didn’t have them, and there wasn’t time and opportunity to make new and better recordings – therefore the engine-composition ended up a bit cheesy, but I think I could make it work with the right recordings.
Nevertheless, I hope you like this one better than the first, and I would like to hear your opinions on this one, and hopefully you think that I am more on the right track with the Ideas presented in the:

The questions for this one are:
1. Does this attempt capture some of the feelings you associate with the Porsche?
2. Does it capture some of the sounds you expected to hear?
3. Do you think these Ideas work or do I have to find a different approach?
Cheers!
Thomas
