“My Name is Jonas” Slowed Down 1000%

August 19, 2010 | View Comments

I’m totally jumping on this meme.

As you may or may not be aware, some clever young Interneter took Just Bieber’s “U Smile” and slowed it down 800% to create a 35-minute epic that sounds vaguely reminiscent of Sigur Ros or some more experimental-sounding m83.

So, yeah, it was awesome and I was smitten with the idea. I followed the instructions on Lifehacker and gave Weezer’s “My Name is Jonas” a similar treatment with the freeware app Paul’s Extreme Sound Stretch. (In fact, I used the Mac OS X port.)

Update: I tried this with a couple Nine Inch Nails songs. They ended up sounding like long, epic, Nine Inch Nails songs. Amazing.

  • This morning before work, I started stretching some of my own songs. I think I like a couple of them better that way!

  • It seems that there's an even more recent version of the Mac OS X version of Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch, which can be found here: http://music.cornwarning.com/2010/04/06/paulstr...
