an “idea-based” artist named leif inge has taken beethoven’s ninth symphony and through some techno-magic has digitally manipulated it such that it takes twenty-four hours to play through in full. that he has done this without any distortion - pitch included - whatsoever, and rendered a truly beautiful piece of music that loses none of its majesty but acquires an entirely different presence through its adjusted timescale is a remarkable achievement. i’m not sure that grumpypants would approve . . .
