Ascension

Continuing on from yesterday’s discovery of 9beetstretch, I have decided to risk putting up my own reworking of the Ralph Vaughan Williams classic, The Lark Ascending. Not quite a 24 hour piece as my laptop won’t manage that. This piece weighs in at around 66 mins. I did manage to make a 200 minute version, but I figured it to be too large for my site’s bandwidth. Some may be annoyed, saying that I’ve ruined Britain’s favourite classical tune, but my strange head loves this version. It is just an experiment and for now will end here.

It is not available to download and won’t appear on my compilations. Despite my manipulations, it is essentially the complete work and I have no copyright clearance. It is available only as a 320k stream.
