The interest thing about this app is that it allows you to pull material from almost anywhere and make it sonically interesting. The first track I made was sourced from 2 seconds of Love is a Battlefield and a few seconds from an anti-depressant commercial. The fun part of this app is trying to turn the most mundane sounds into something interesting.
Arguably what brought PaulStretch into the public eye was this 800% slow-down of "U Smile" that made Justin Beiber sound like Sigur Ros https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bidHnEekXpE
Ableton live has similar algorithms built in for audio time stretching, but Paulstrech goes a step further and integrates a large spacey reverb that smooths out the abrasiveness of the low resolution playback at extreme modifications.
The author's homepage lists a bunch of interesting things where the software has been used and mentioned[1]. Personally I found it quite fitting on the Dredd 3D soundtrack on a song that it plays when people are using a drug called Slo-Mo, which slows the user's perception of time to 1% of normal.
This is very cool, I'll need to spend some time playing with it.
I used abuse an old Powerbook's CPU by using Logic's Time Machine at the maxium settings and clicking through the all the warnings that it might harm the processor, and repeat several times. I made a whole album doing that: https://josephpost.bandcamp.com/

I'm not even kidding. It's superb. Put it on, turn the lights out, imagine yourself on an alien beach, and feel the stress drift away...
