Sound artist and composer Leif Inge created 9 Beet Stretch by using digital tools to stretch a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony so that it takes twenty-four hours to unfold.

The result is a remarkable remaking of Beethoven as massive soundscape: a piece in which familiar motifs develop twenty times more slowly than we’re used to, at times lovely, at times overwhelming.

It is the best-known symphony in the world transformed: transformed into a dramatic and haunting and hypnotizing soundscape that passes like clouds over a vast landscape.
