Depending On What I Am Doing,

I do enjoy slow music,

but there is slow and then there is Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) it is considered the world’s slowest musical composition and the subject of the longest-lasting musical performance in recorded human history, photograph YouTube screengrab, John Cage wrote Organ2/ASLSP in 1985, originally for the piano, and then adapted it for the organ two years later. He cleverly omitted to specify how slow the piece should be played, so various artists did it for as long as they thought it adequate. On February 5, 2009, Diane Luchese performed As Slow as Possible for 14 hours and 56 minutes, and Joe Drew has put on 9 and 12 hour performances, and was planning a 48-hour marathon. A 12-hour performance also took place on September 4–5, 2015, in an all-night concert at Christ Church Cathedral in Montreal, Quebec, 

But the most epic rendition of Organ2/ASLSP has been playing since 2001 and is scheduled to end in the year 2640. It all started in 1997, when a group of musicians and philosophers got together to discuss the implications of Cage’s instruction to play the piece “as slow as possible”, considering that an organ imposes virtually no time limits. A properly maintained organ can theoretically last forever, but the consensus was to play the piece slow enough so it will last for 639 years! the performance began with a year-and-a-half-long pause, followed by a two-year-long note, and the notes will continue changing at intervals raging from several months to several years. Every time the note changes an event is organized at the St. Burchardi church and attended by spectators, and any pipe additions to the organ are also livestreamed, well I know I did say I liked slow music, but really not this slow!
