This intricate evolution is mirrored in its accompanying soundscape – a frenetic compression of the haunting Psycho score into a pulsating rhythm. While Douglas Gordon stretched Psycho into a 24-hour meditative experience ( 24 Hour Psycho , 1993), the song Accelerate condenses it by a factor of 20, generating an urgent, almost frantic five-minute experience. The interspersed use of the word ‘accelerate’ in the track evokes memories of The Beatles’ avant-garde piece Revolution 9 (1968) and is accentuated by thousands of samples that shift with each bar. The Wilhelm scream , a nod to Psycho ’s climax, punctuates various parts of the song, increasing in tempo throughout its duration.
