9 Beet [sic] Stretch is Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th symphony stretched to 24 hours, with no pitch distortions.
It’s broadcasting 24/7 as a streaming webcast, and will be released to DVD later this year. A classic Beethoven symphony takes on the ethereal dissonant properties of something reminiscent to a Philip Glass composition — I’ve been listening to it now for a couple hours. See the website for more info, including photos of public spaces where the work has been exhibited.
