TIL that there is a John Cage piece being performed in Germany that will last 639 years: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slo

Definitely adding that to my “obscure places to visit” list.

“The piece started with a 17-month rest on September 5, 2001, which would have been Cage's 89th birthday. The first sound appeared on February 5, 2003.”

I’m so glad things like this exist.

@ej I don’t think it’s the same people, but the idea is of course very similar. Apparently you can go listen to Longplayer in London, I need to go do that sometime. I guess I’ve got a while though :)
