Re: [microsound] 9 beet stretch



Of course if someone augmented the notation of beethoven's 9th and had an orchestra play it, it would be a very different piece. It is important to remember that this is a quintessential example of digital music. It is the quality of the time stretching algorhythm that makes the piece what it is sonically. On a conceptual level you have to ask yourself if this concept would resonate as strongly with any other piece of classical music.

The concept of transforming a time-scale is not new. There's one precedent
worth noting: in 1200 AD, Perotin explored a similar idea by stretching
plainchant melodies to extreme length, as a backdrop for new material.
Perotin's stretching was approximetly to the same degree as Leif Inge's
Beethoven (which is stretched by a factor of 24).
