Episode description
If choosing one song to listen to for eternity sounds daunting, fear not—John Cage has you covered with his avant-garde epic, Organ2/ASLSP ('As Slow As Possible'). It's the ultimate "hold my beer" in the music world, stretching a single composition over 639 years. That's right, this tune hopes to outlive us all. Join us as we dive deep into this glacial-paced masterpiece, ponder the apocalypse, and explore the profound depth (or utter boredom?) of silence. See images here!
