chris:  here's another thought: I wonder what my reactions would be to pop music like his if I first heard it without any lyrics. 2 years ago

chris:  @max -- totally, I'm with you 100%. I suppose my intent is to call out greater articulation and reflection from those who say they don't like Justin Bieber. in your language, there's just one "instrument" between thinking of his music as sappy junk and transcendent beauty. 2 years ago

andy:  good point @max. the textures and sound design at play here is also radically different than the original since time stretching software doesn't actually slow it down, but rather changes the tempo while preserving the original pitch, thus creating some strange processing artifacts that weren't part of the original. 2 years ago

Saffin:  Dayum, it's getting around 200 hits a second atm 2 years ago

max:  @chris one could play these notes at this same speed and make them incite any number of different feelings in listeners depending on the instrument/sounds used. the sound and feeling of this comes from the full chain of production that happened on it, though the time stretching part was the most influencial i would say. just think of the time stretching software as the instrument you are listening to 2 years ago

andy:  no idea, though i hope that through this study we can reconcile and unite 120 bpm deep house heads and 160 bpm gabby fans 2 years ago

chris:  @max, no the speed at which the notes are played is the sole important factor in this case. the emotional response is up to the listener.
that's the whole interest: it just takes something as simple as slowing down a song that you'd say you hate, and then all of a sudden, you love it.
why? what really changed? how did just slowing everything down all of a sudden make us respond differently than before? 2 years ago

max:  @chris that and much more. but i think appreciators of music understand this pretty well, contrary to what you seemed to be suggesting 2 years ago

Saffin:  apparently the software used to strtch it was called 'paul stretch' ...awesome 2 years ago

andy:  the emotion of this piece is so intensely different than the original that it basically makes the original notes being played irrelevant. that's a pretty neat study case. 2 years ago

chris:  @max, it seems that in this case, the key factor is only the speed at which they're played 2 years ago

max:  @chris you don't think people realize there's more to music than the notes being played? 2 years ago

Saffin:  Bieber will lead us all to Nirvana 2 years ago

chris:  My take: music that you think is serene and beautiful has the same poppy chord progressions that you hate when sped up. So it's probably not just the music that you're saying you hate, if it's even that at all. 2 years ago
