Call me ignorant - but what's the use of beat periods that long?
Wouldn't that sound almost as boring as no beating at all, i.e. using
two identical frequencies (just like adding two identical, gasp, samples)?

I really do appreciate the beauty of slow beating, but I'd expect
everything beyond, say, 10 or 15 seconds to be barely noticable, because
any movement would be very (too?) slow.
Or am I missing something here?
