Aphex Twin - Rhubarb - Slowmo version

Aphex Twin's Rhubarb slowed down around 8 times with 'Pauls Extreme Sound Stretch'. Turns a great track into something a bit different but still great :)
I didn't want just a blank screen or pictures to go with the song and thought a nice summery field would complement it well. Shot not far from Jönköping, Sweden. The video is slowed down to half speed to make it a bit more serene.
Please enjoy.

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

So, I finally got around to making another one of these. It's has a completely different sound and feel to it, but still turned out really nice. It's very haunting and a bit harrowing. Give it a try and see what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amO6mXqQbr97mrM

​@prudent_rodentthe culmination of all music would probably be an hour of harsh beats that include a huge variety of electronic genres, either switches up, or mushed together, while gradually becoming a bit more melodic each minute. Then, it would be an hour of pure ambient, with the beginning including muffled drums. Finally, it would end with sounds similar to this, but somehow more ethereal.

My girlfriend died 6 years ago, and I still feel that pain. We were so fucking young man. It just hurts so bad. There’s no other word for it, I’m just so sad. So much time has passed that I feel that I’m yearning to be a person I don’t recognize anymore. We were in our early 20s, had our whole lives ahead of us. The older I get, the more jaded I can be about the world, but at that time I was madly in love without the anxieties that gets me now. If I’m being realistic, it’s likely that we would’ve broken up at some point anyways. But in a therapeutic way, this song makes me feel as if we never did, and were still together, hanging out, going for hikes, going for long bike rides, eating new food, visiting new places together. I only got to love her for 8 months, and I feel like more happiness was robbed from me, her, and her whole family. I just wish we all had more time with the people we loved.

I had a strange moment a while ago where I was concussed playing a football match and was knocked out cold. When I was knocked out I had a strange dream I was in a grassy field, having a BBQ and camping with loved ones a beautiful sunny day. Mom and Dad sharing a joke, my arm around my girlfriend, my younger brother playing football with his friend, my girlfriend's parents enjoying a glass of wine together and my grandparents (who have been dead for quite sometime) singing together, smiling and holding hands. When all this was happening, I could've sworn the only sound I was hearing was this beautiful song playing in the background. When I awoke, I was surrounded by around 10-15 people, including my mom, all panicking and I had no idea what was going on. I just wanted to go back to that beautiful scene. I don't remember much after that, all I know is that I was rushed to hospital and that I didn't regaine my memory until a day or two after. It put things into perspective for me. Life is beautiful, no matter how bad it seems. Out there, somewhere, there is somewhere that you can call heaven. You just have to find it. Don't take life for granted either, just try find the beauty in your life and cherish it.

This reminds me of when I went scuba-diving for the first time off the coast of Borneo. It was near the end of my third and last dive. My instructor was so confident of my proficiency that he basically said "Follow me" for an hour and took me to see the stranger things that live in deeper water. I felt so protective towards all the creatures I saw down there, like they were my close family members. Anyway, during the last decompression stop on our way back up I floated motionless in the big blue, the sea floor out of sight below, the surface a rippling canopy above, overwhelmed by waves of gratitude. The beauty, the weightlessness, the calm. And resurfacing into a vast dome of sunshine and warm winds felt in some small way like being reborn.

You never think about how beautiful this life is until moments like these. We go through each day doing the same routine, often feeling lost and seeking direction. I have never heard music so beautiful. I feel hardened by the stressors of everyday life, sometimes to overwhelming degrees where I think to myself "I don't know for how much longer I can take this." The saddest realization, for me at least, is that it will probably always be this way. The burden of financial stress, relationships, anxiety, and the crippling limits I put on myself will always prevent me from living the life I so desperately wish I could live. But every few years I find relief with something like this...just a few minutes out of my life where I can stop and forget it all. I see this beautiful field, I acknowledge that it actually exists somewhere in this world, and for a brief moment, just a split second, I can almost feel myself touching that grass. feeling the sun on my face. the light breeze and the silent symphony of nature. but I know that when I open my eyes, it will have just be an image on my computer screen.

The human mind is incredible, being able to flex between so many different emotions and thoughts within mere seconds. The ability to manipulate a person's mental state so easily with music is perplexing to me. Not only that but the way your mind begins to operate while listening to certain songs is incredible as well. Our mind is powerful because it is weak, allowing the world around it to so easily manipulate us, opening our eyes to so many ideas that were never thought of before.

Those fields reminds me of something. Those fields reminds me of wheat fields in the Germany. I grew up in Siberia, Tomsk and everything was a problem here. In the streets or public transport since I was a kid my Grandmother almost every time we went somewhere was covering me whispering with clanged teeth “f**k, that’s some wino again”. It was and still very easy to find used syringes, rotting dead animal bodies, dr*gz stowages on the walls of different buildings. And the school, the kindergarten, everything was also awful. I’ve got my nose punched in blood like four times when I was four (like four different accidents). In the school I was bullied because of everything - my look, my habits, my humor and etc. (also there was a guy who beat me a couple times). And then there was Germany. My Godmother is living in Villingen-Schwenningen. In fact, my Godmother’s Mother is my Grandmother close friend. And I’ve been here four times in my life, the last time was 8 years ago. And Germany there was nothing like in Siberia. Nobody could’ve bulled me, streets doesn’t had any pigeon, rats and cats c*rpses and etc…. This place was like a heaven compared to my city… The home of my Godmother’s Mother, where we were usually staying is placed on the hill. As you walking down the hill, you can see the endless wheat fields (like those on the video). And if you go right you can went into corn fields and apple gardens. But now it’s 2022 and of course everything is melting away. Every day my chance to see my Godmother, to see those fields again are becoming more and more miserable. Now, I think, everything stayed in the past. Somewhere in Germany white castles staring at the dark. And somewhere glass waters of Baden-Baden are flowing with the tingle. And somewhere three hundred years old roofs made of shingles are covered in the cold rain. And somewhere fields of wheat are whispering by silent speech sweet songs about white stars. Somewhere. Somewhere between my dream and the Switzerland. Somewhere…

Too many deep and beautiful memories from this song throughout the years...so indescribably beautiful that they hurt, you know when you see or feel something so pure that after it nothing matters anymore.....I'm clinically depressed not because of the hard stuff in my life but because of the pure moments and that I will never be able to have them again, I had a perfect life, perfectly in balance. Now I just exist...waiting....for the end.

[@Sektion9]

All I want to do when I listen to this is shed tears in space.

[@angelar3045]

This video has brought me so much peace over the years. Thank you very much.

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

I am very glad to hear that, thank you.

[@SkyTheLeafeon]

The sound of emptiness.

[@chillosophification]

My hamster died 20 years ago and this song was his favorite. Rise in power Trolly

I think i'm dead.

[@xenonvinc]

Hi dead, I'm dad

[@eyemoeba]

of all the ambient music eye have ever used for sleep, THIS is the best. you can have this on pretty loud in your room if you need to block out external noise. i know you can say this about a lot of music, but this one maintains the same frequencies throughout, has n0thing to latch onto, fades out and back in pretty quickly (minimal silence or harshness as the tune comes back on). of course, you can't beat the original, so massive kudos to Aphex, but for sleeeep, this is the daddy. nice upload Fredrik. peace from England.

[@k-m___]

when a song is slowed down so much, you can hear all the details you don't notice when it's at normal speed.

[@jakobtrock-jansen4741]

Beautiful. Someone should mix a 10 hour loop of this.

[@PilgrimVisions]

I have seen the sun break through to illuminate a small field for a while, and gone my way and forgotten it. But that was the pearl of great price, the one field that had treasure in it. I realize now that I must give all that I have to possess it. Life is not hurrying on to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past. It is the turning aside like Moses to the miracle of the lit bush, to a brightness that seemed as transitory as your youth once, but is the eternity that awaits you. - R. S. Thomas, The Bright Field

[@WirSindVerl0ren]

This song was already so peaceful and somber. I've always found it interesting as a musician, slowing down the tempo of my favorite songs. It can create such atmosphere and ambience. Beautiful.

[@fatoon7884]

Entering in heaven song

[@Dr.Hoffman]

I did a heavy dose of DMT to this once several years ago, circa 2015 (would normally do in silence) and was actually thanked by various entities for bringing the sounds "with me". I shit you not.

[@thatsexyeevee2329]

Sounds similar to my experience with DMT in 2019 except in my experience, my spirit animal was looking at me and I was somehow a wolf as well. I walked up to her and she brushed her cheek against mine, then she said "You look just like your father. You're going to do great things for this world, just as he did. You're strong and persistent, son. You can do this."

[@andre7089]

Ive never done DMT, or any psychedelics for that matter but i can tell you that this song takes my brain places i wouldnt be able to achieve normally

[@Dr.Hoffman]

@@andre7089 Oh for sure quite a few of his tracks just stop my mind in its place and get me drifting. Aegispolis for example.. Something special about that track also. I could keep listing tracks tbh but that one reeeally stands out for me also. I want an apex twin funeral hehehe

[@Dr.Hoffman]

@@thatsexyeevee2329 Some real crazy experiences to be had in that space for sure and very powerfully affirming ones at that

[@tiesthijsthejs]

Goddamn you got me. Hooked. Everytime. That combo of dragged-out Aphex with Nordic slomo, it's just, I can't... well...it's been months, maybe years, and whenever I stumble upon it in my playlists, I just, well... damn.

[@Snake36Alpha]

This is beautiful. I already loved Rhubarb. This goes to a whole new level of inner peace. Strangely it sounds eerily like the sounds people are hearing in the skies these days

[@olatundeayomide9120]

“Life is beautiful I wish you could see” I whispered quietly back to the thoughts in my head before putting a bullet through it

Heard the first 2 seconds and knew exactly what it was.

[@yukkobruh1819]

25:41 this gave me chills

[@erikhillblaske]

The eventual departure from the physical world, leaves the mind unsettled. A heavy ignorance numbs those afraid to understand the meanings of existence beyond a living realm. The place where dreams wander and imagination flows, where eternal happiness is granted and a satisfaction of oneself awaits. As we begin to spin into the endless void, we hear our families bid farewell, their voices becoming increasingly unfamiliar as our knowledge of past experiences blurs into obscurity. Concepts of the past and future become diluted, our sense of time obscurred, as we embark on the timeless journey till a timeless end. -unknown

[@dusttodust3980]

its so nice this video doesn't seem to be a loop.. the natural movement over time is really nice and meditative to watch

[@OpusTheLeftie]

I just love this picture. I could just stare at it for hours.

And here I am again. Just looking at it. If I live long enough I'll travel to that field.

[@Hanachan459]

Never take this down! This is perfect to calm my anxious feelings!!! 😘

[@jamesbarels469]

Bravo. Only a while in and I can just feel the sensuality that you bring out of the track. Fantastic work.

[@ericzareno3596]

hey fredrik, thanks for slowing this down, i feels this more than the original. been listening to this everyday for hours at a time and it always helps me get back to the center of things.

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

Eric Zareno Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

[@dutty1549]

Fredrik Svensson You ever thought about slowing down Lichen and Stone in Focus, maybe Xtal or Film? I know it's already been done but you've done this in such a way that it could be more masterful than the others. :)

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

GeorgeCanShuffle Lichen might work, Stone in Focus probably won't. Any sort of beat, however faint, won't come out sounding any good. Hopefully I will get some more songs stretched out this summer, but it's difficult finding ones that are suitable.

[@dutty1549]

May I suggest looking into Stars of The Lid? You may find some appropriate content there. Oh by the way, thank you for slowing this down. Helps me sleep at night and I find it hard sleeping. :)

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

GeorgeCanShuffle Thx, I will check it out. Glad you are enjoying it.

[@hideralmosawi1606]

This is the best music I've had ever heard in last five years

[@Etherwa]

Best music that I heard in my lifetime

This video along wih the slowed down Aphex Twin song deserves SO MUCH. This is therapy.

It seems that heaven looks exactly like this!

yeah, that's right. it's from the cover of music has the right to children

[@playdo]

A monoculture field surrounded by planted borders, and in the distance a man made timber forest. Both are private property. Even something once so sacred as our very conception of natural open spaces is defined by industry, machines and technology. A car passes by, they're going to the supermarket.

[@doginasweater.3861]

The music really makes the picture come to life wow. 13/10

[@xenopis7862]

I imagine this plays in heaven. Eternally. Everlasting.

[@ulrikkold]

The combination of video and audio here is just beautiful. I have nothing more to add. I'm just listening and swimming away inside my head...

[@fokal.strktr]

Probably one of the greatest tracks throughout history. Thanks for making and uploading this beautiful version/video

[@TimTam60]

It sounds like forgetting everything and sinking into the Earth's body

[@silencinmachin]

I love this slow-mo version of rhubarb. It is so relaxing and the scenery is beautiful too. I have put this on several times to help me go to sleep too. Thanks!

[@stunthumb]

Totally. I've heard a few Aphex slowdowns and it just seems to work nicely with his stuff. Bottom line is he writes better ambient tracks by accident, than most ambient producers on their best day :) - kinda makes me want to mess around with some Aphex tracks, maybe do a remix or even just experiment.

[@silencinmachin]

stunthumb Agreed. I feel inspired by RDJ. One day I'll gather the skills to compose some ambient works of my own.

[@georgebennett8114]

silencinmachin stunthumb gents I make ambient and I can tell you that you're 100 percent correct, this is better than I could ever hope to achieve, truely astounding stuff. Silencinmachin I would really reccomend just going for it, you'll never know if you can do it unless you try :)

[@barretdotcom]

Wow. Messing with a masterpiece is risky work, but this is absolutely well done! Bravo.

[@Mdonkin961]

i should relax more... i needed this, thank you

This is magical! Totaly reminds me of the place where I lived as a child in Germany. Thank you for sharing this brings back some nice memories
