Two great memes that probably should have gone in the open thread.

I don't understand something. If this and the Bieber song are slowed down 8x, why hasn't the pitch dropped accordingly? This is more like the song is stretched in the time domain by not in the frequency domain, which is fine, but it suggests slightly more manipulation that merely slowing the track down.

PaulStretch is time-stretching. For extreme stretches, it sounds a hell of a lot better than any other time stretching app I've heard. It uses some kind of mathematical smoothing technique.
I'm betting it's too destructive for the usual timestretching you'd do in something like ableton live, though, where you're only stretching by 10% or so.

Empath, that's exactly what the PaulStretch site says - it's optimized for really long stretching. Even at 8x, if you speed it back up to normal, there are some weird echos and other artifacts.

Wow. I love this. I wonder what happens when you do this to The Burning Bush from the Prince of Egypt soundtrack?

If you aren't breaking it down into Hammer Time - you are continuing a pretty booring meme.

10:55 just brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. This is fantastic.

Thing that surprises me about these is the flashes of dissonance that we don't (or I don't) hear in regular time. Makes me question everything!
