"As Slow As Possible"

The slowest and longest piece of music gets moving
(see picture for a screenshot of my guestbook post...)
Since September 5, 2001, which is the 89. birthday of the avant-garde composer and artist John Cage, the slowest and longest concert the world have ever heard has been playing: Organ²/ASLSP. As Slow As Possible that means this piece of music for organ will be performed for 639 years in the church of Burchardi in Halberstadt. It started slow and quiet with an interval on September 5, 2001. Since February 5, 2003 the first cord can be heard: one G #`, one G #`` and one B`. On January 5, 2006 the A`, the C`` and the F#`` will be added. We want to invite you to experience the change of sound on January 5, 2006 at 5.00 pm.
