Second chord sounds in world's longest lasting concert

"A new chord was scheduled to sound in the world's slowest and longest lasting concert that is taking a total 639 years to perform.

The abandoned Buchardi church in Halberstadt, eastern Germany, is the venue for a mind-boggling 639-year-long performance of a piece of music by US experimental composer John Cage (1912-1992).

Entitled "organ2/ASLSP" (or "As SLow aS Possible"), the performance began on September 5, 2001 and is scheduled to last until 2639."

"Experimental composer John Cage"

Guess what? The experiment failed. Back to the lab with you and we shall never mention this again.

I'm going to be weird, and say I think it's kinda neat.

But I'm also a fan of the Clock of the Long Now.
