60+ recordings of Satie's Gymnopedie One played simultaneously
- zimpenfish 11y agoStands up surprisingly well as a piece of music in its own right.

- camperman 11y agoThis is incredibly beautiful.
- aaron695 11y agoI opened and played this while opening this second and started to read http://www.neverendingbooks.org/artisanal-integers http://www.neverendingbooks.org/artisanal-integers Work strangely well. AFAIK might work well with any HN story
- tempodox 11y agoWonderful, I've got to listen to this when I've got more time. How did mankind survive before SoundCloud? Experiments like this music would probably have been a hard sell in those dark ages (except when you're John Cage).
- adrianN 11y agoPutting a link to an MP3 on a website is not that hard.
- struct 11y agoReminds me of Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack. Fascinating audio texture.
- david-given 11y agoThis 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... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bidHnEekXpE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bidHnEekXpE
- magic_beans 11y agoWow, I can't believe how lovely this is.
- Yhippa 11y agoThat 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.
- soundwave106 11y agoMost 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-PaulStretch-extreme-sound-stretching-algorithm http://www.paulnasca.com/algorithms-created-by-me#TOC-PaulSt...
- earl_gray 11y agoThat 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH2i-Qxxpec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH2i-Qxxpec
- zimpenfish 11y ago14x slowdown of Swede Mason's "Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY9u0LxIWJk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY9u0LxIWJk) makes for some epic dark ambient. http://rjp-hosted-files.s3.amazonaws.com/dark_ambient_clarkson.mp3 http://rjp-hosted-files.s3.amazonaws.com/dark_ambient_clarks...
- phillc73 11y agoThis is really interesting, although I found it difficult to listen to, as I have spent a lot of time listening to the original. If I try to mentally block this from being connected with Satie's Gymnopedie, I enjoyed it much more. That's not true for all classical remixes. William Orbit's version of Barber's Adagio for Strings is one of my favourite dance tracks.[0] (although not the Tiesto remix). If you like Satie's Gymnopedies, then I also recommend his Gnossienes[1] and Faure's Pavane.[2] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIbIHxKh9bk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIbIHxKh9bk [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYH5xh6gd0c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYH5xh6gd0c [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tQ36TFvNoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tQ36TFvNoM (this recording played by Faure. Many modern recordings are at a slower tempo, such as this short orchestral version from the Berliner Philhamoniker conducted by Simon Rattle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhiVuIRw4tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhiVuIRw4tM)

- lobster_johnson 11y agoI like Brian Eno's Discreet Music [1], which provides three slowed-down variations on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major (the first one rather amusingly named Fullness of Wind), eventually reaching tempos where you can hardly discern the original melody. Max Richter also brilliantly "recomposed" Vivaldi a few years ago, turning his Four Seasons into something like a modern work.
