HAL 9000's voice played 200 times slower

http://photosounder.com

We first load into Photosounder a sound of HAL 9000's voice, which is turned into an image, and we first play it back into a sound at its original rate. Then the Time resolution knob is turned down a notch and the image-sound is played about 3 times slower, without any change in pitch.

Then the Time resolution is turned down some more until the playback rate for the image-sound is 200 times slower than the original, and a strange and eerie soundscape emerges from the man's extremely slowed down voice.

this is the most foolish bit of buffoonery on youtube

[Photosounder]

@5191263 what manner of dim-witted nincompoop would qualify and spurn this chef-d'œuvre in such wise?

[peterloohunt]

That's really great. Thanks! Did you know you can befriend HAL on facebook? Sadly, though, he doesn't respond much to requests to open the pod bay doors...

What gives?

[ROCUNTA]

I like that bit near the end.. :$

This is some serious quality timestretch effect.. No glitching at all. A lot smoother than conventional wave/sample stretch.

Cool!

Awesome. Sounds like the soundtrack to the movie. Creepy!

intriguing yet so enigmatic and haunting
