9 Beet Stretch

9 Beet Stretch

9 Beet Stretch, by Scandinavian sound artist Leif Inge, is a massive soundscape made of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The source recording, a Naxos recording conducted by Béla Drahos with the Nicolaus Esterházy Sinfonia and Chorus (Naxos 8.553478), was stretched digitally to a duration of 24 hours with no distortion or pitch shifting. The work is presented as a 24-hour-long sound installation/electroacoustic concert.

History

The initial realization of 9 Beet Stretch was done in 2002 at [http://www.notam02.no NOTAM] (Norwegian network for Technology, Acoustics and Music) by [http://www.notam02.no/~andersvi/ Anders Vinjar,] Kjetil Matheussen, Leif Inge, and Bjarne Kvinnesland. It was redone at Notam in 2004 by Leif Inge and Anders Vinjar, and the concert premiere was April 16th to 17th, 2004, at Kupfer Ironworks, Madison, Wisconsin, under the production of Jeff Hunt of Table of the Elements. Among the venues it has been presented include Wien Modern 06, Vienna; BizArt Art Center, Shanghai; Diapason Gallery, New York; Ultima International Festival of Contemporary Music, Oslo; and 964 Natoma, San Francisco. The Table of the Elements label will also release the complete piece on a forthcoming DVD.

It is available online in a number of audio formats, including a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week Web cast (see the Raudio link below).
