Does anyone know how they got a soundtrack tuned to 432Hz? If it was just an existing soundtrack slowed down a bit, that's not going to sound right. Did the study get an orchestra to record a whole soundtrack at 432Hz?

Slowing down music by that much isn't going to make anything sound noticeably off. You need to go quite a bit further for timbres to start sounding weird. 440 to 432 isn't even half a semitone.
Right, but we already know slower music is more soothing, so it’s a confounding effect.
