Do people not realise how significant today (September 5th) is?
For the first time since 2013, a note in the world’s slowest piece of music is going to change: John Cage’s ASLAP (As Slow As Possible) begun in 2001 with a 17 month rest followed in 2003 by the first chord (A, C, F sharp). Today at 8.35 the 15th chord change will occur (E, G sharp). This has been played continuously at a church in Halberstadt, Germany. It is due to finish in 2071!

Seriously though, that's pretty cool and forward thinking. Future generations may even dance to it in 4/4 time. π
Aliens think factories are musical instruments. The people arriving and leaving are the rhythm of the tune (or words to that effect). David Byrne, Talking Heads.

@moonbus I'm sure Cage is being cageyπ He knows what it sounds like all together. But I'm also sure the full piece will be played at full speed in 71. Assuming our civilization is still intact by then. Only 51 years away.
