Stairway to Heaven: The Quarter-Note Version (MP3)
Composer Thomas Dimuzio has taken this classic rock tune, reversed it, cut it up into quarter-notes and then reassembled it in forward order to retain the melody. Dimuzio claims that the resulting file contains exactly 666 regions. Anyone want to verify this?
Thanks Rumori!

Thanks Kenny, this is cool. I also really like a mashmix PLU made of Led Zeppelin on your show a couple years ago? It sounds backwards and perhaps stretched? Maybe you and she did it together. Anyways it's excellent.

It sounds even more interesting if you reverse it then play it!

Kenny G you sneaky devil
Andre's right: Tom did do another variation called 'Heaven To Stairway' which runs the quarter notes forward, but in reverse order.

And I now believe Tom's claim. Here's a screenshot of the session. (Mind you, PT creates 2 regions for every splice, so the number of actual regions is half 666 -- but still this is beyond impossible).

even if i knew i could get attention at this respectable radio station for doing stuff like this, i wouldnt do it.
thats probably why im doomed to failure in life.
