Tell Me :
Talk
Me and my wife perform this peice to great effect every time we argue...sometimes we do the extended mix!
Your wife is SILENT for extended periods of time? God, that must be wonderful.
Thank Christ there's no special fan club DVD for this artist, then...
Funny calculation:
639 years is 233.235 days, and that's 5.597.640 hours, so that's 335.858.400 minutes, and 80 minutes per cd means there would be 4.198.230 discs needed.
So with bonus material we're talking a 5 million disc box-set!
Which I guess would be roughly equivalent to The Stones opening and releasing the legendary Vaults on to a box-set!
She will if you spend more time "talking" to us than to her!
A five-million-disc box-set? Isn't Neil Young planning something along those lines?
Speaking of funny calculations, here's a fun project for anyone who's just sitting around the house, bored out of their mind this weekend:
Figure out how large the box would have to be.

A single note, from a piece that's supposed to last 639 YEARS, will be played today.

This from the same man who brought you "4 Minutes and 33 Seconds", which, of course, consists of total silence lasting for exactly that amount of time. It's great, but you haven't heard anything until you've heard it in mono.

So they don't just play the notes once, they are actually held down by weights on the church organ so they sound all the time. That must be hell!

Which I guess would be roughly equivalent to The Stones opening and releasing the legendary Vaults on to a box-set!

John Cage has for sure been involved in some 'unusual' music projects. Anyone remember him arranging the first performance of Satie's Vexations?
A piece, consisting of a small piece of music played on piano, repeatedly 840 times. The concert lasted for more than eighteen hours.
I'm pretty sure John Cale was one of the pianists taking turns playing.
