Made a little experiment with Beepbox (https://www.beepbox.co/), exported it to wav and processed it in Audacity.

As @hainbach probably would say..half-speed is better :)

After I had created the sound, I browsed through the videos at Openbeelden.nl and stumbled upon this almost hundred year (1924) old sailing footage shot in The Netherlands.

Played around with it in Kdenlive and eventually this came out of it. The title is based on a Dutch saying, which I had never heard before until now. It seems apt for the current times
