Boards of Canada PaulStretch: Boards of Canada

Feel free to upload some slowed down versions.

Color of Fire (the 35 tracks version with that fuzz) and Everything You Do Is A Balloon are good.

Good thread, would read again.

Paulstretch is like the Miley Cyrus of audio software. I even heard a local talk radio host dweeb mention it once.

What is paulstretch? Is it only for if you have a melody of 3 minutes and you want to listen it in 3 hours? I'd like to listen to roygbiv in 3 hours.

I think the paulstretch thing should have ended after my Peter Gabriel remix, which was before the 800% bieber fiasco.

but paulstretch is a great tool?

I have an online acquaintance who, for awhile, was releasing Paulstretched noise tracks. Uh have you guys heard the 12 minute Paulstretched version of Olson someone put up? Might still be on souncloud now.

It is, but making an entire piece of music out of a stretched version of something else has been DONE. I agree it's useful for making pad sounds out of absolutely anything, but 99% of people don't use it in a creative way.

If you really like droney ambience?

I agree that taking someone else's piece of music, and then stretching it 20x is indeed lazy and boring, but as long as you do everything yourself, it's hella cool. It's an excellent tool for making really minimal ambient tracks.

Paulstretch is the dbglitch of ambient.

Long Live PaulStretch, even though i find sometimes xenakios Hourglass more entertaining as it is MIDI connectible/controllable, and the parameters can be assigned to knobs on a controller. Even though its more of a granular synthesis tool, it has a controllable Play Speed parameter and this way stretches the sound while playing, tweaking the other parameters while doing that can make some interesting sonic results.

What i love about PaulStretch, apart from the stretch function of course, is the mixer with available controllers of various Octaves of the original sound, some nice sounds can come out by combining them and give a richer, deeper sound and ambiance.

Do you want to elucidate any further than that ?

Nothing to do with Boards of Canada (since nobody posted any slowed down versions), moving to Music Discussion.

Shouldn't that be 'lllllllloooooooollllllll'?

All of the samples posted in this thread so far sound awesome.

The binaural beats thiing that I found through the paulstretch website is seriously awesome though.

I'd actually like to hear that in a slowed down boc track. And it does nice things for your brain. Apparently.
