This was created by merging together the original vocal and orchestral lines from the end of Born Into Steam with a special unfiltered version to give more bass. Extra octave features were enabled in Paulstretch to give the sound more depth.

Achenar Paulstretched
While we wait for the SDEK EP to be pressed on to CD and released, take a listen to a couple of tracks from All Will Change run through the fantastic Paulstretch. The program seamlessly stretches out audio, while maintaining its original pitch. There are many parameters to mess with, but I’ve just used the defaults here to stretch the tracks out by 8x.
Survive Yourself becomes a drawn out string and choral epic – especially as the vocals come in at 9:00, while Verify Me resembles an incredibly nasty horror soundtrack.
