Beethoven's 9th Symphony plays for around an hour. A guy got the idea in 2002 to stretch the audio of an original performance from 1 hour to 24, and use software to return the pitches back to the original key. What came out the other end is a slow motion car crash of music. The smallest fraction of a beat in the original song is stretched out to 3-24 seconds. The stream has played for 24 hours a day for 19 years.
What interests me most about the experiment is the end result is timeless; you can hear glimpses of every note ever written at this speed. Every series of chords ever played back to back to back.
