The "Seven Notes World Tour" experience is a sonic presentation by the two brands, ans is a progression of "Seven Notes," a collection of music tracks, produced by Howie B (Massive Attack, Bjork, U2), that were created using the seven distinct notes of Maserati V8 engines. The "Seven Notes" tracks were produced at London's Abbey Road Studios using Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers, by the way.
