This reminds me of one of the greatest pieces of ambient music of all time --- Justin Bieber's _U Smile_. It's old hat now, but just in case someone hasn't heard it...

14x slowdown of Swede Mason's "Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY9u0LxIWJk) makes for some epic dark ambient.

I'm only a little way into this but I could swear this is the Planescape soundtrack.

Thanks!


That reminds me of 'Truman Sleeps' from the Truman Show played, again, very slowly. It's a bit creepy... but I like to listen to it when I'm studying.

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how people even thought to do something like this? It seems that it's at least a scene now based on the suggested videos.


Most of these videos I believe were created with Paulstretch, an open source audio time stretching application specifically optimized for creating nice ambient textures for very long stretches.

Paul Nasca gives a brief overview of the algorithm here: http://www.paulnasca.com/algorithms-created-by-me#TOC-PaulSt...


Wow, I can't believe how lovely this is.
