The only time I've every thought to myself, "I wish I thought of that", is with this.
On Sept. 5, 2000, the slowest and longest concert EVER began in a church in Halberstadt, Germany. The musical number being performed is called ORGAN2/As Slow As Possible. Created by Avantegarde-ist John Cage, the entire musical performance will endure the better part of 639 years, ending in 2639.
There's a documentary out by the same name, following one dudes pilgrimage to witness a single note change in this piece. I have no doubt that eventually I'll do the same thing. I'll sneak in a minidisc recorder and bootleg that shit! haha
awesomes!
