Joyeux Joel

I was fiddling with a couple of soundfiles this morning when i came across something unexpected. What i needed was 2 minutes of white sound, interference or just noise in general. Since i was feeling rather on the lazy uncreative side, i just told myself "Huh. That useless Joe's X-Masage Zappa album had two one-minute musique concréte pieces. Nobody'll notice if i take one of them and extend it to two minutes." Yes, i was feeling very lazy. The endproduct wasn't really for me, anyway.
So i took a 56 second track ("mousie's first x-mas") and arbitrarily extended it to 2 minutes. While i did this, i noticed something wierd: the left and right channel were two completely different tracks altogether. Once doubled in length, what was going on became clear: the composition had a completely electronic/manipulated magnetic tape left track, while the right track was part of a hitherto unheard orchestral composition. All this at double speed.*

The other short musique concréte track ("The Moon Will Never Be The Same"), which proved to be much the same in style, especially when extended from 1:10 to 2:20. Approximately.
An example can sort of be seen in the screenshot below:


Goldwave dealing with Zappa. Two channels, different lengths.


All i could do now was save the soundfiles, put them on the internet and look for something else to sample, splice, dice and maim for my own filthy plans.
So, for all you scholars out there...

Frank Zappa - Mousie's First X-mas(extended 2x) - 128kps 2min Stereo Mp3
Frank Zappa - The Moon Will Never Be The Same(extended 2x) - 128kps 2min20sec Stereo Mp3

And furthermore:

Mousie's First X-mas (extended left channel only) - 128k mono that sounds like stereo mp3
Mousie's First X-mas (extended right channel only) - 128k stereo that sounds like mono mp3
The moon will never be the same (extended left channel only) - 128k stereo that sounds like mono mp3
The moon will never be the same (extended right channel only) - 128k mono that sounds like stereo mp3

All recordings approx. 1962-63.

*my reaction upon discovering the accelerated tracks: "Cool, i do that all the time."
