Drifting Back - [disquiet0264] by Richard Fair

For this week's Disquiet Junto Project we've been exploring the concept of time.
For this piece I wanted to create something that begins simply - just four notes on the Hypermorph pack on Ableton Live. I added four drum hits to represent a ticking clock.
From here I switched over to Audacity.
The original track was about 10 seconds. I used the Paulstretch effect at 10.0/0.2 which took the track to around 1 minute 13.
Next I added some Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift to the last thirty seconds 99 down to -90.
I copied this track and reversed it overlaying so that the complete duration came out just under 2 minutes. Finally I added the original track at the start, reversed at the end.
After this mix I was interested to see what stretching the time even further - down to 20 minutes which you can hear on the next track. I actually think that the longer version offers so much more.
