Shift + >speeds up a video (andShift + <will slow it back down). With a little practice it becomes easy to follow along with many videos at 2x speed. A UCLA study shows that information retention can stay high even at high playback speeds. This can save an incredible amount of time. I like it so much that I've installed a browser plugin to be able to watch videos at speeds beyond 2x.
Sing! Day of song - Bobby McFerrin - Improvisation - A large crowd provides accompaniment for one of the finest vocal masters of popular music.
Jacob Collier Harmonises The Audience [Toronto] - Collier takes this idea further by harmonizing the crowd in 3 parts. Simple, but large scale and spontaneous.
Jacob Collier - Moon River - 4725 part harmony /hyp
Lizzy McAlpine: Tiny Desk Concert - The backing band here, Tiny Habits, has some of the tightest harmonies I've ever heard in popular music. Lots more available on Youtube etc.
Choral - Solo accordion, but lush chords and amazing gravitas. The ultimate track of a superb album.
Ryuichi Sakamoto - "andata" (from "async") - Another instrumental track, gravitas out the nose here.
MICROTONAL TETRIS - Magical harmonies and modulations that you may not have experienced before.
Vicentino: Madonna il poco dolce - Speaking of microtonal music, Vicentino's microtonal works may be of interest if you like Renaissance music.
Try these on for size, I'm curious which ones align with your request.
