You can't mention PaulStretch without linking to Justin Biebier's totally amazing ambient orchestral piece, U Smile: [VIDEO] I'm not even kidding. It's superb. Put it on, turn the lights out, imagine yourself on an alien beach, and feel the stress drift away...

For the lazy, here's the song mentioned: [VIDEO] This was created using paulstretch [1], a program to transform normal audio using extreme stretches. I've tried it on a few songs I liked and it does really an excellent jobs of creating extremely fluid ambiances. The triple parentheses on the first video is a nod to Sunn O))) [2], an American drone / noise / ambient metal band which features super long songs with droning saturated guitars (playing on vintage cranked up to 11 Sunn Model T amps) and usually no drums. One of my favorite songs from them and perhaps one of the best introduction to their music for the non-initiated is titled Alice [3], though perhaps it's not as representative of their music as, say, Ra at Dusk [4]. (Sunn O))) was heavily influenced by the pioneer drone metal band Earth, and their mindblowing album Earth²: special low frequency version [5]).

The 8x slow-down argument is so naive, it's bad. Perception and interpretation change with speed. Listen to a song you slowed down. It becomes something entirely different. Compare [LINK] and [VIDEO] If you can't see the difference at normal speed, there is no difference.
