The pulsing synthesizer heard amid a field recording of athletic activity brings to mind, of course, Vangelis’ *Chariots of Fire* film score. The music in that 1981 movie located and cemented parallels between mechanical sound and the human machine — it was to running what Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn,” less than a decade earlier, had been to driving. In **Ronny Nibletts**’ 11-minute “Sports Hall Athletics,” the sounds of exertion are a little less exalted — he lists the source event as an ordinary “indoor athletics meet” — but the effect is vigorous, these slight variations in synthesized rhythmic tones amid huffing, motion, and the occasional whistle.
