Maserati- Bye M'friend, Goodbye

the original


stretched 3x


This one is kind of neat because the original already had chanted vocals and some buzzy drone type stuff going on. It's kind of neat how the pulsing synth basically turns into a solid drone. The guitar gets kind of sputtery. Some parts, particularly around the 9 minute mark, sound backwards. I like it.

Fleetwood Mac- Sisters of the Moon

The drums come through like waves crashing. This one was gorgeous and hypnotic all the way through, but it was like an hour and a half long. Here's 15 minutes or so, starting a few minutes in.

I used up Soundcloud's 2 free hours pretty quickly with these long tracks, so I'm trying something new. Let's see how it works.

Another nice dreamy one here. Nothing surprising, but nice anyway. I faded it out around 11 minutes.

Battles- Ipt-2

the original
Ipt-2 by cdb


slowed by 25%, with up to 7 layers of echo

With this one I decided to play around w/ the robotic, plinky plonky sound. No stretching, though I did slow it down a little. Then I staggered layers of echo over top, so that by the end there are 7 layers. Play this loudly for your kids and see if they cry.

I split this one into two because I wanted to do longer stretches, and songs with a lot of guitar tend to turn to noise. I like the first one a lot. It reminds me of The Dark Knight soundtrack, kind of tense and wound-up, like it's building towards something bad. The second one is neat because of the wide space between the notes. When the guitar solo comes in after that, things get a little bonkers.

Jimmy Buffett- Come Monday

This one surprised me. I like the original a lot as it is, a sort of melancholy, nostalgic tune. But the stretched version is just beautiful, like a funeral hymn, with these moments of super intense vocal washes whenever he's coming in with the bigger notes. Great stuff.

I faded the clip up there at 25 minutes. Download the full 49-minute track here.

Annie- Chewing Gum

The beginning sounds sort of like traffic in the distance. The beat settles into a rhythmic, deep breathing, and the whole thing comes across like a mechanical factory assembly line with not enough to do.
