fumi Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The sound recording below reminds me of the ambient drone surrounding the spacecraft that hovers over the barren lunar surface before Dr. Heywood Floyd and crew visit the obelisk in Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey, or maybe a group of highly focused Franciscan monks or possibly the very sound of time itself. This, of course, makes complete sense, because the track is of Carl Sagan saying the word billions one time, but stretched out over the span of an entire hour. Sounds incredible. Just a single word. Even Basinski would be proud. Courtesy of io9 Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's a really amazing ambient piece. You could argue of course that one could just stretch out anything and it might yield interesting results.

I dunno, maybe I'm just bitter about being one of the first to do it with my Peter Gabriel remix but not getting 800% Justin Bieber amount of plays. Although Gabriel did say it inspired him so there's that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ok, I've uploaded it again. And I may be being delusional but I think I can hear my influence in his recent orchestral arrangements: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ok, I've uploaded it again. Nice! Sounds a bit like Ulrich Schnauss in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
