This organ will play one composition until 2640. It's redefining how slowly music can be played
- A small organ in Halberstadt, Germany, has been playing a composition by John Cage at a very slow pace since 2001.
- The performance is part of the John Cage Organ Project, which is scheduled to last 639 years, ending in 2640.
- A recent chord change from seven to eight notes marked the completion of about 4% of the project.
- The project has transformed the Burchardi Church, providing a unique auditory experience for visitors.
- The composition is designed to be played as slowly and softly as possible, with the smallest unit lasting one month.
A small organ in eastern Germany is the headliner of the world’s slowest concert. It has been playing the same piece of music by composer John Cage at a glacial pace for nearly 25 years.
A rare chord change on Wednesday — from seven notes to eight — represented the completion of about 4% of the 639-year endeavor of the John Cage Organ Project Halberstadt.
The project commenced in 2000, with the performance beginning on Sept. 5, 2001. The composition, called “ORGAN²/ASLSP (As SLow aS Possible),” is scheduled to finish on Sept. 4, 2640.
An electric-powered blower system sends wind into the organ to create a continuous sound. The project has transformed the Burchardi Church, which was left largely in ruins before money was raised for repairs to make the piece a reality.
这台风琴将演奏一首作品直到2640年，重新定义音乐的缓慢演奏方式
德国东部的一台小风琴是世界上最慢音乐会的主角。它自近25年前以来一直以极慢的速度演奏约翰·凯奇的同一首音乐作品。
周三的一个罕见和弦变化——从七个音符变为八个音符——标志着约翰·凯奇风琴项目哈雷斯塔特的639年努力完成了约4%。
该项目于2000年开始，演出于2001年9月5日开始。该作品名为“ORGAN²/ASLSP（尽可能慢地演奏）”，预计将在2640年9月4日完成。
一个电动鼓风机系统将风送入风琴，以创造持续的声音。该项目改变了布尔查尔迪教堂，该教堂在筹集资金进行修复之前大部分处于废墟状态。
