The Big Ship - Brian Eno (800% slower)

[@CarianneRHixson]

This song, for me, validates every intuitive feeling I have about what this life truly is. It is the question and the answer. A summation of all the struggle, the failed attempts at love, all the wounds we refused to let heal. Everything is okay now. All that was is now our evolution in hindsight. Every struggle was just a stroke upon the canvas of this rare form of art we call life. This is our enlightenment, seen through the wise lens of Time. If the story of life was written in musical notes, this would be the song. Play this at my funeral, a reminder that these bodies are just our vehicles to get home.

You don't know how many times this video has saved me from a panic attack or Suicidal thoughts! Thank you so much @Rockybar , God bless you and anyone who is reading this; It gets Better trust me!

[@TheRockybar]

thank you for those kinds words and godspeed ❤

[@unohoo29]

This song slowed to this level is genius atop of genius. Totally epic in every sense of the word. It is complete joy.

[@whatisdylar]

big time. there's something here that is weirdly transcendent.

[@Samuel-kk2je]

+whatisdylar totally agree

[@chrystalfur6949]

My favorite Eno instrumental of all time. I always wanted it to go on for days...now I am closer.

[@camdix3250]

You read my mind! I wanted it to go on and on and on and on and never end! Yes, absolutely!

[@p.s.5410]

This is a better delivery mechanism.

[@matman000000]

You see a gigantic whale floating through space. Its purple skin is glistening in the warm light of a far star. You can hear her breathe. You don't know how she does it in the void of space, but her magnificence is so overwhelming that you refuse to question this beauty. She glides with elegant, mighty movements of her body, drawing a line through the dust ring of a nearby planet. You get closer and closer, as the creature reveals its true size. She looks at you with one eye, acknowledging your existence like a kind god. She nods her head and you find the courage to touch her. As you caress her skin, a million grains of sparkling emerald dust rise and fly into the depths of space. You feel the warmth of life with every breath the whale takes, and you know there is nothing to fear in this endless universe.

[@teesea77]

that just blew my mind

[@unohoo29]

Holy shit! That is the coolest thing I have ever read. Seriously.

[@RickB500]

So beautiful. Remindes me of Star Trek, TNG 1.1 Mission Farpoint

[@TheHobade]

WOW!!!

[@ben5154]

I came.

[@aspiefilmguy6666]

I think Brian Eno would approve of this. The breathing sound breathes life into this slowed down version. This song has literally saved my life.

[@bonce808]

jesus dude, the 8x speed reduction is mathematically, let alone melodically and sensationally incredible. 10/10 would time out again to this!

[@SuperWils2010]

I keep coming back to this version through the years

[@smkelly1970]

always thought I heard breathing effects on the original.. this is insanely wonderful.

[@whatisdylar]

this really becomes amazing the longer it goes.

[@60Cyndy]

I like it because you can still tell what it is

[@johnstathopoulos3395]

Woah I love this song. I mean it makes me feel something I remember but can't describe. But I never thought to slow it down. This is far out man. Thanks.

[@snijlea6639]

Cosmic

[@ars6492]

“Something I remember but can’t describe” I like that

[@DJGamingSmash]

This slow version weirdly makes me feel like I should be having an existential crisis... but I'm not.

[@leonakita]

sounds like heavy labored breathing background throughout...interesting perspective for sure!

[@TheFpCassini]

it'd be really cool if Eno's expression slowly changed with the music!

[@IHeartNoise]

I was expecting for his head to move across the screen

[@robertwaller4100]

Iiiiittt ddddoesssss ,,,, jjjjjjj jjjuuusssstttttt vvvverrrrrryyyy sssssllllo....wwwwlllleeeeeeyyyyy ,.. You know??

[@tonybozzelli287]

Brilliant, simply ... brilliant.

[@RFD510]

Absolutely fantastic. Sends chills up my spine.

[@davidsinclair1971]

This is stunning. A magnificent experiment in sound.

[@Yas-ef3qm]

宇宙空間を旅していて、流星群に出会った気分になる。 7:40 9:19 11:11 このギターが好き。

[@GoemonLovesFujiko]

Nice.. Its essentially doing the Eno effect to Eno.

[@SKMP]

John Hawthorn what's the eno effect?

[@Floobie2956]

Believe it or not, that breathing sound is the drum beat of the original song.

[@kevinharrington2078]

You hit it out of the park with this. CHEERS

[@rhubbard1821]

hauntingly beautiful

[@MultiRwilson]

Still, a "Genius". Thank you Brian. :)

[@luuuuuciano]

This is amazing... thankyou so much for it

[@whatisdylar]

A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails might be served well with this treatment.

[@pmeadows34]

This is interesting because Brian was commissioned to make music for a computer company that lasted a few seconds long and he said he quite liked the challenge of working at that nano level.....here is the exact opposite. Taking a composition and expanding and distorting it beyond comprehension.

[@cygnusfloyd]

That "computer company" was Microsoft and it was used as the start up chime for Windows 95.

[@theophrastus9029]

I can recognize it

[@Peter_S_]

Soaring and absolutely Epic....................... Thank you for creating this version! :)

[@patrickichitawa9091]

Very Moving! Thank you.

[@plantemor]

damn... I felt like I was flyving the whole time O_O

[@sarahlotus4130]

feels like I am back in the womb

[@robertwaller4100]

i am suspended by nothing , i want control but i already chose this way . nothing more than this.

[@perineumsunningguru1442]

Just incredible

[@geoff1685]

Big Ship and Third Uncle. Way ahead of time.

[@largelysubatomic]

I don't think I'm on enough drugs right now for this to be better than the original.

[@childofthesun32]

***** I find this works well, but it takes a different style of listening. "Holding the moment in your mind" until the "change" happens. I find this slowed down version is proof of this song's masterpiece. Even slow as fuck - it's still consistently of extremely high quality. Many good songs sound wrong slowed down and silly sped up.. This just sounds different, but equally good. I do agree however, that Brian knows best - or he'd have released the song in this way himself.

[@UltraVert]

It's perfect.

[@Sunnsetter]

I'm On just enough drugs... none. Because this is incredible either way.

[@estebanposadaduque6415]

... Brian employed his Brain ....

[@-ull3972]

Brilliant to slow this down. Bold to go 800%!

[@kentborges5114]

ENO THEE EXCELLENT.

[@namanshree32]

A combination of this building up to the original would be perfect

[@CharlieShread]

I had the exact same thought!

[@unitedstatesofmordor]

Eno enosified, and yet the enoesqueness of it is still inherently Eno.

[@petersokol1603]

He thought Titan……. would be the experience of a lifetime….and now….as the air escapes through a minuscule hole in his suit….that he cannot find with frantic and worried fingers….a calmness fills him…….he sits on top of a crest….Breathing in his last moments of existence……and wonders at all the beauty that surrounds him as he sinks into to the deep as if encased in velvet…….the stars shine brightly tonight my friends………as the dust settles over years and covers his body…..becoming one with the planet……and so it goes.

[@Vangelis-GRE]

Is this ligal?i mean its stronger than drugs

[@rimcollian2307]

reduce the video speed to 0.5 and it gets all techno

[@nickcosti1685]

I think you meant 1/8th speed 800% slower would be exponential so it would be many hours long

[@HeiHolaHello]

Nicholas Costi just pretend the title says 800% longer... don't be such a fucking douchebag

[@nickcosti1685]

If correcting people is being a douchebag, then I'm happy to be one.

[@clawpuss2]

Its about 1/5th speed isn't it? This version is 13:52 and the original is 3 mins?

[@TomiAdewoleAdetom]

***** You can do that easily by determining how long the original plays - the time is usually listed on KZbin videos or mp3s.

[@TheRockybar]

its 800% slower

[@WKaliberr]

Brilliant

[@terrywitzu3795]

This is, fucking, REEL-REEL analog too, man!

[@anna-sleeps]

pressing like just for the concept

[@Walkerbtween]

This is the sound of ascension...

[@Orangelemonblue]

“....and release to downward dog"

[@893loses]

I know this is beyond words but Jesus fucking Christ this is transcendent

[@NoNickNoKick]

I can imagine Malcolm Reynolds trying to survive inside the Serenity after life support system failed.

[@billmay7364]

ANOTHER GREEN WORLD. ENO. RECORD FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME. NO GREEN WORLD REALLY NO LOW FROM BOWIE. THIS RECORD MOVES THE NEEDLE. MORE WAYS THAN ONE. THE BIG SHIP. EMOTIONAL. SLOW IT DOWN GIVES IT ANOTHER TEXTURE. RESTRAINT IN EMOTION .

[@IHeartNoise]

More ambient than ambient

[@camdix3250]

This is so wonderful! So wonderful indeed. However, I guess I am selfish. For I would also like the original "The Big Ship" that is 800 times longer. So it would last 40 hours - non-stop. Mmmmm, yes!!!

[@songsmithy07]

Treatments TO Eno

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

Brian Eno is the best

[@gomichaelgo]

This makes me want to look closer at everything.

[@mrmucho6595]

You talk a lot, but you're Not saying anything

[@WagesofSin309]

This is awesome when you're high.

[@davidzeto2446]

If this could be the soundtrack to my eternal sleep (I know that doesn't make any sense), I would be okay with it.

[@stonesgrass]

Recent searching for sleep music due to insomnia, I have encountered songs with similar cord progressions (1-5-6-4, which is very common-think two dozen TSwift tunes) and one with this exact chord progression (1-4-6-4-1-5-6-4-1), which immediately brought my mind to The Big Ship. I suggest this is a nod to Brian Eno and his writing and composition genius. But none use the less common 12/8 time signature. The resolution from 4 to 1 is beautiful. I always thought about this song being slowed down to drone/ambient pace. And here it is. The song doesn’t have a beginning or end. Conflict resolution on repeat. A bit of rambling there. Point is I find this one of my favorites on a favorite record of all time (Another Green World). Thank you for this version (saved)

[@ianeye68]

This is cool. It is funny though, I always thought "Becalmed" from the same Eno album was just "The Big Ship" slowed down.

[@jakebrannon25]

Yes! I have a theory about this, though I have nothing to back it up. The piano on Becalmed has a warbly magnetic tape effect going on. This makes me wonder if The Big Ship originally had this piano track, but it was later removed. Eno could have reused that track and slowed it down for Becalmed, which would explain why the chords are transposed down. Recycling a track for The Big Ship + Synth track = Becalmed.

[@Kindabeige]

The whole record is a masterpiece. Made in 1975. Still so far ahead of it's time the youth of today wouldn't understand it. "Another Green World". They would think it was about weed...

[@camdix3250]

@Anthony M'Kross Good for you, Anthony! Eno is a very thoughtful, creative man. Stay with those types.

[@2000WTube]

Amazing

[@2000WTube]

Still amazing!

[@GenteelCretin]

What algorithm was used to slow this down? I’m tempted to compare different algorithms in Ableton or Max/MSP now, just to hear the different textures that each achieves.

[@tomgrant4522]

aches in slo-mo.

[@midnightinaperfectworld]

This better not awaken anything in me.

[@nate-work]

Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it. Could you do the same with an Enya song perhaps?

[@TheRockybar]

Nathaniel Budzinski totally, or you can download paulstretch and have a play around with anything hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/

[@MarkHeng3000]

Rockybar Unfortunately, the link seems to be down. Hopefully it'll return. The sourceforge.net website is temporarily in static offline mode. Only a very limited set of project pages are available until the main website returns to service.

[@talbrott]

genius

[@Mrius86]

Original lasts 181 seconds= 3 minutes and 1 second. This version is 781 seconds = 13 minutes 1 second. 181x=781 x=781/181 x=4,31 This version is approxiametely 431% longer.

[@TheRockybar]

Mrius86 no it’s 800% slower

[@eugenebarrett]

This is pretty funny, considering Eno's hospital stay with the broken record player and all that.

[@billhicks8]

urrrgh Entropy you boundless bastard

[@demonjredits]

one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't mean the original

[@built2chill_]

So worth it lol

[@tgmnewman]

play Domina by Maurizio under this and you've got a vibe on your hands

[@lucianamartinez7111]

Who and why thought of this?

that dude must of added himself breathing breathing

[@zackstafford2768]

EnO)))

[@TheCoaIa]

settings -> double speed xD

[@simonchallis2374]

4.6 times slower?

[@TheRockybar]

no, 800%.

[@SKMP]

800% slower

[@TheHobade]

Are we using percentage as a linear function or exponential?

[@richfeddersen5173]

Don't get me wrong I love Eno's stuff, and this is really interesting, but am I the only person who thinks there's a touch of heavy breathing down the phone about this? (Talk about a Third Uncle)...

[@robbiepeterh]

Why stop there? Play it at 0.25 x speed 😉

[@IrisManning]

Very cool, but kinda creepy...

[@IrisManning]

OKAY, GETTING FURTHER INTO IT: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

I hate the picture, it makes me think Eno was kind of historical effect human sinceI saw it.

[@gertrudes544]

Yusuf Alfaribi he looks beautiful, look again. he looks eternal.

[@Lyndanet]

Not bad but a bit too husky ..

[@alem6239]

Go to sleep.

[@Floobie2956]

Believe it or not, that breathing sound is the drum beat of the original song.

[@dennismenace1243]

sure, what else? it's the same song played much slower and there is nothing else that could be it. and you can imagine that it would sound like the "beat"..the i think noises out of the mechanic room.
