About
800% Slower, also known as “time stretch”, refers to an audio editing technique known as “timescale-pitch modification”[4] that is used to drastically decrease the speed at which a song is played.
Origin
On August 16th, 2010, Florida based musician and producer Nick Pittsinger a posted a link to the /r/music subreddit[1] that contained a version of Justin Bieber’s “U Smile” that had been slowed down 800%. Although the original SoundCloud link has now been taken down, dozens of copy-cat examples can still be found on YouTube.

Spread
On August 18th, NPR[3] published a blog post about the Bieber track and interviewed Paul Nasca, the creator of the “PaulStretch”[7] software used to create it.
“The idea of it is pretty simple. I take a small chunk (usually around 100 milliseconds) of the audio file from the start position, and I smear it: first I analyze a sound’s frequencies, and then randomize a part of the sounds characteristics and rebuild the chunk. I repeat the same process for another chunk of the audio file, and so on.”
The same day, Gizmodo published an article titled “How To Make Justin Bieber Sound Incredible”.[12] On August 20th, CleverTV uploaded a video reporting on the track:
