See the first sound change in 7 years in John Cage’s 639-year-long song
On September 5th, 2001, a specially built organ installed in Halberstadt, Germany’s St. Burchardi Church began its rendition of Cage’s “,” an eight-page composition written by the composer in the 1980s with the intention of, as the title suggest, being played as slow as possible.
Nineteen years later, there have been 15 note changes, the last coming on October 5th, 2013. For the past 2,527 days, the St. Burchardi organ had resonated the same note, the piece’s longest-held note so far and longest until at least 2071.
