A friend recently brought Leif Inge’s project 9 Beet Stretch to my attention and I’m hooked! Using various versions of Snd and the Common Lisp Music Software, Inge was able to stretch Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th symphony to 24 hours without pitch distortion. The effect is amazing – a flowing ambient soundscape that retains the intense power and emotion of Beethoven’s original symphony.
You can listen to 9 Beet Stretch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on Raudio Special :: 9 Beet Stretch or using the RAUDIO IIIII iPhone Application.
You can find out more about 9 Beet Stretch and Leif Inge by visiting the project website.
