The Slowest Songs in the World

摘要

In October, The Flaming Lips released arn24-hour-long song. That's a little drawn out, but it's a mere heartbeat compared to John Cage's 0rgan~2/ASLSP ("As Slow aS Possible"), which takes 639 years to perform, or Jem Finer's Longplayer (1,000 years long!). And finally there's Mel's Olitsky, which tops out at 1,648,171 years, 7 weeks, 2 days, 10 hours, 23 minutes, and 33 seconds. Sample each work yourself-or save some time withrnour quick cheat sheet.
