There's an intro page to go with the MP3: http://www.erikbunger.com/html/var_on_reed.html

I'm sure I'll like it too (can't listen now, am at the office) as I like drones very much as well!

And there are some press clippings to go with the song too:

?Närmare 30 minuter h?ller stycket p?, men tidslängden blir snart sv?r att avgöra. Som lyssnare är vi ju fortfarande inne i samma ögonblick, samma frusna bild av skeendet. Det är en fascinerande och paradoxal upplevelse att konstatera hur själva ackordförändringen varje g?ng skapar en sensibilitetshöjning, en förv?ning som ocks? har en berusande effekt.?

Jag vill inte ta p? mig skorna och g? ut genom dörren. Inte nu när allt känns s? vackert och rätt! Det handlar om en kamp mot tiden och den smärtsamma vetskapen om att allt, hur vackert och rätt det än m? vara, har ett slut.Erik Bünger hade sin första lyckliga fylla till Velvet Undergrounds l?t "Heroin". Han har tagit ?tta sekunder fr?n den l?ten och bearbetat och dragit ut till ett stycke p? strax över 25 minuter. Kicken fr?n den första lyckliga fyllan blir, filtrerad genom Eriks drömmar och längtan, till ett l?ngt och kusligt vackert rus. Ingen början inget slut. Bara vara.

Unfortunately, my Swedish is a bit rusty and I can't find a decent translation site (Babelfish doesn't do Swedish).

The "Han har tagit ?tta sekunder fr?n den l?ten och bearbetat och dragit ut till ett stycke p? strax över 25 minuter" sounds quite intriguing! (Something like "He has taken a few seconds from ["Heroin"] and processed them and stretched them out until the piece lasted over 25 minutes" :shock: :o :D)

There's a little too much flutter in the stretching process, for me. It sounds like when your real audio player is buffering a stream.

Here's a similar stretching technique for Beethoven's 9th Symphony, stretched to 24 hours long - if you like drones, you'll like this:

Well, I had a listen but unfortunately I don't like it. Great concept, but poor execution. I'd like it a lot more if it had been an instrumental drone variation as the "Heeeeeerrrrooooiinnn" part really grates, and I agree with Jebus, it reminds me far too much of Winamp seizing up once again to be enjoyable. (Anyone remember that horrible Fatboy Slim ditty that used the same technique?)
