John Cage piece cranks into overdrive
Relatively speaking. The 639-year project, organ2/ASLSP, is slowing down a 29-minute organ piece by avant garde-ist John Cage (the guy who did 4:33 (in Ogg Vorbis format, but does it matter?)), so that it's going to take over six centuries years to play. It all started on September 5, 2001 with a year and a half of silence (I wonder if anyone needed to be sitting at the organ for that), and then the song burst into full effect on February 5, 2003. A chord change occurred in January, and I think another one is set to occur in May, at least according to this schedule.
Maybe Rick Wakeman will get wind of this, break into the church, and blow us away.
