Let's see what the ancient dusty grimoire at http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ has to say about this incantation:
"This isn't music, this is just a gigantic dick-wagging, more-hardcore-than-thou staring contest between Hardcore producers to see which of them can be assaulted with "BPM = 1000" on their drum machines and not flinch. I can't possibly think of any drug that would make you want to dance this fast. Or even headbang to it. I get a headache after two minutes of doing that anyway. I guess that's why 90 percent of the tracks are 30 seconds long. It's the music equivalent of holding your breath; that is, if done for long enough, you will pass out."
It is written.

Oddly soothing. Essentially ambient/drone. I'd download this, probably. It beats the hell out of gabber, which is what I was expecting.

Old_Zircon - 2015-09-22 If you slow it down about 800% it probably is gabber.

EvilHomer - 2015-09-23 Yeah, it's interesting how slow and relaxing this sounds; to my ear, it's almost like drone-heavy doom metal! The beats are coming so fast that they actually wrap around into slowness again, sounding less like "beats" and more like the vibrations of a poorly-tuned electronic cello string.
Is it really sped-up gabber, OZ? I'd love to hear what the backing music actually sounds like at a reasonable BPM, and I wonder, too, if the properties of the backing music matters, or whether any beat cranked to 1000+ bpm will come off sounding like an indistinct blur (for example, would there be a noticeable difference in the end product if you extratone'd a Liszt concerto, versus extratoning a sequence of random, atonal noise?)

Old_Zircon - 2015-09-23 This is by far the least abrasive form of it I've heard, usually it sounds more like this:

EvilHomer - 2015-09-23 That one by Mr Annoying Ringtone isn't too bad! Around 1:00 it becomes evident that he doesn't really know what to do with this extratone gimmick, but he's trying, and it's always nice to see people trying new things.
I was thinking about this at work today, and you'd know what I'd like to hear? I remember reading about this experimental organ piece - I think it was by John Cage - that was supposed to be one of the slowest pieces of music ever written. Played from start to finish, it would take a few centuries to complete! (can't remember the name of it; one of you guys probably knows what I'm talking about) Anyways, I would like to hear t̲h̲a̲t̲ get extratoned!

EvilHomer - 2015-09-23 Oh, duuurrrr, DuckDuckGo is my friend. The piece's name is "As Slow As Possible":

... and here it is being played as fast as possible:

So, there you go. Extratoned John Cage.
Not as cool sounding as I'd hoped. :(

Old_Zircon - 2015-09-24 "Not as cool sounding as I'd hoped. :("
That's pretty much John Cage.

If you squint he kind of looks like Ceephax wearing a really cheap wig.
