So this guy on youtube has, using the Paulstretch app, stretched the last two tracks from 1980’s Ambient 3: Day Of Radiance to levels of absolute serenity. Twenty six minutes of music has now been stretched and expanded to three hours here. This stretching has the effect of smoothing the sound events and noticeable musical note playing into just a remaining ethereal drone. Most people familiar with this original track probably wouldn’t even recognise this as Meditations. I can’t really detect the zither at all, it’s just all a lovely glowing eternal resonance.
