Want To Hear Something Magical? The Sound of Crickets Slowed Way Down By Jim Wilson

"Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world." - Tom Waits

This is a real recording of crickets slowed down, no effects or instruments are added.

Incredible, is it definitely for real?

Yes it is a real recording. You can download a software called PaulStretch and try it for yourself.

Heres is an example of The Moonlight Sonata slowed down by 800%. A new world of music awaits.

Wow! Love the video as well, the music gives it a sense of profundity, hammers home the reverence we should have for our planet.
Maybe a remix, but a beautiful one if so ;-)
Will definitely check out the software!

I was moved by this. How changing the dynamics of something changes the sense of connection. And highlights what an amazing world we live in!
