The stretching-function was made by the composer and programmer Anders Vinjar. The function is basicly based on the make-granulate function with parameters finetuned for the current stretch. Not very advanced, most credits for the nice sound goes to Bill Schottstaedt for the make-granulate function. I did the dirty work, setting up scripts, high-level lisp programming, doing conversions, fixing disk-space etc. --
