Motor Music, via Charlie Visnic, captures his sound design process, making music from a little motor:

I decided to record my little DC motor before it gets mounted in it’s eventual home, my Harmonograph table.

I started by playing midi notes into my headphones and simultaneously recorded the tuning of the motor to a major scale. I got two octaves out of it.

Then I brought the material into final cut and started making a composition with it. You may recognize the tune, it’s from the first eight bars of my music-box composition on Day 191.
