Paulstretchica

Hey guys, so I haven't really posted much in so much of a long while, because I was busy working and keeping up with important matters. Also, this episode is supposed to be a brand new way to shape the entire channel. I did a guitar riff, and I stretched it to new heights.

In the beginning of this stretch, the audio is pretty silent, but it slowly, VERY slowly, escalates into a dark tunnel of chill in your bones, but in a meditative way.

Just a title of the episode, a combination of catchy and obscure.

This is an affirmation that someone that I know has taught me to say every day. At first it was super-hard to practice, but the more I did it the more my life changed for the better. Therefore, this track is dedicated to that friend.

...and I am very confident about it! :D

The beginning of this stretch starts with a little under two minutes of white noise, but then after that it slowly transitions into the voice-like temple ambience. Good for sleeping and meditating.

Don't get me started on why I made this...but either way, enjoy!

This is a stretch that basically serves as a soundtrack for a short story I had written, about an auction for a very rare necklace and how the protagonist cheated at the auction, but ended up suffering at the end of the story.

I have had many, MANY high school crushes throughout my time in school, but most of them were already dating. And, as it turns out, by the time we all graduated, most of them were expecting children already! This is a paulstretch that I have recorded to reflect on that.

This paulstretch has a very long story, just as long as its duration. During the span of 2016, I learned about Bitcoin, and blockchain, when the coin was only $150 in value. The (temporary) dislike for specifically Bitcoin started when I signed up for the first-ever BitcoinTalk forum. I had learned to make virtual machines running Ubuntu with the Bitcoin node software. The purpose of these machine...

This paulstretch is a big "up yours" to Lurkit, the platform that partners with Twitch streamers, for falsely accusing me of abusing their system when I really did not, and banning my account for such false claims.

For this episode, get ready for an ultimate park ride!

This recording is to resemble a deep and dark theme park ride, underneath the icy cold underground, but in a meditative and trippy mindset.

I have a particular friend that I talk to on Discord that told me that she was living in an area where a flood and typhoon took place, and I became worried at first, but I knew (and she clarified) that she was okay and unscathed from it. So I expressed my appreciation for this, recording it in Audacity, and this Paulstretch masterpiece is a byproduct of that recording. Also, this friend is one of...

For those who do not know who Paul Nasca is, he's the guy who invented Paulstretch and made his invention Free Software (by "Free" I mean Open Source). I wanted to make this ambient episode about him, and to heavily credit him, for without his contribution this podcast would not exist, and neither would most of lo-fi in general. On other news, this is so far the longest episode I hav...

For this stretch, I had expressed my appreciation for the long way I have come so far in my life, and part of that was to channel my anger better and find better coping skills than before. Very little ticks me off nowadays, and that is a very good thing.

By "It" I meant the computer that I'm using to make this podcast. I recently replaced Windows 11 with Ubuntu 25.10, and the transition went smoother than I thought.

One of the top 5 things I am grateful for is the ability to see, despite how bothersome my eyes can be (but I am seeing the eye doctor regularly for this).

This particular title was inspired by the fact that society is all about following and obeying, while I stand up among the crowd by leading my own path.

As of me writing this, I had been given a free Dairy Queen blizzard by someone who had been given a free Blizzard herself that she did not want. It was a peanut butter cup flavored blizzard, and I really loved it. After a few hours I paid it forward by helping someone with a very important task. You get what you put out, folks!

This was recorded around the time I got a new job at a local Target store, and got approved from the background check. So this was in celebration.

Too tired to write about this one LOL

My first ambient piece with two titles at once. :P

Exactly what it feels like. LOL

So far this piece I really enjoyed making, and I hope you will like it too.
