Pyramid Song (800% Slower)
My favorite deep corners of YouTube music contain content like this. Audio manipulations that become augmented experiences of the original tracks. I’m definitely the fan who appreciates hearing all the songs from Talking Heads’ Remain in Light played at the same time or entire songs reversed, and when it comes to Radiohead (one of my favorite bands), whoever decided to upload versions of their songs at -800% deserves a special place in my heart.
Pyramid Song which at normal speed comes in at 4:49 is slowed into a 38:35 ambient hurricane, as elemental and ethereal as a mythology of Nu, Poseidon, Varuna or some other sea deity. Anyone familiar with the death and transformation theme of the song will feel it literally stretch across the track, allowing you almost to feel the molecules of the song.
Kinda reminds me of what Hans Zimmer did with that Edith Piaf song for Inception. Indeed, it feels like I’m listening to Radiohead from within a dream where time has slowed.
