What I find fascinating about this is how the song's slowness REALLY creates a feeling of tension or suspense. There's an ominous quality to it. Crazy how simply stretching out a note can produce this effect.
+NxtGen Project [1080p@60FPS] There is actually a "concert" in a German church lasting over 600 years right now. They managed to have around 15 different tones so far xD
Following along with the sheet music, this appears to only be the first piece of the composition. There are 8 pieces in Organ²/ASLSP, just like the original As Slow As Possible. But all 8 are intended to be played as part of the whole, with the option to repeat a single piece at any point during the performance. If you were to listen to the Halberstadt version of this, it would be over after a mere 71 years. We've been all these years!
It's a very discordant piece of music to be playing for 600 years. I would not want to work at that church with any of these chords continuously playing :S
I've seen videos of it. It's actually mesmerising in a weird sort of way. There's this organ in a corner of the church, humming those ominous notes continuously... Reminds one of the monolith in 2001.
I agree. And the chord changes in this slow cage piece are not even beautiful. Adore Jul, Jul strålande Jul. I play it in California every Christmas Eve service, no matter people don’t recognize it here.

The best part of the music is in 457 years old 🤌🤌🤌
I feel that's amazing! It kind of teaches us that patience is all; that TIME is all, and we don't have to rush everything. That's just my point of view c:
Dude the chord from 0:55 will sound for years and it's not the biggest tension in the piece. The sad thing is by that time I'll be a corpse :( but seriosly, imagine people in the church of Burchardi listening to this 2:27
Why isn't there any other videos/tracks of the same piece also sped up??? this seems to be the only one! Tho they said there are 30-70 min versions.....
Imagine a generation recording this, hoping that the future will let them show the ENTIRE THING to the public. 1 year remaining, the camera system is finally deleted from technology and a brand new recording technique comes. The ENTIRE family tree spent their lives for nothing.
For some reason I was under the assumption that when played at a normal pace, the composition would be quite good, but it just sounds like a bunch of random tones. If you do something merely because you CAN, that is a bit questionable in itself, but if you do it poorly, there is no point at all. "Yay, let's climb Mt. Everest, but we'll wait for decent weather and have a VTOL plane drop us off at 10 meters from the summit. Then we have five minutes for taking pictures before getting back into the plane." End of rant. Sorry. Disappointment speaking.
This isn't the normal pace, what you're saying is the equivalent of me complaining that Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't sound good when played at 231% speed. 🅱️
I think the interesting thing about it is that there is no way for one human being to fully appreciate the piece in full (especially if it's played for 600 some years). It will always sound different the slower you play it. And I have a feeling, when experiencing it in real life, allowing each note to wash over you, you feel the reverberations of that low note, the anxiety that the clashing notes produce after an excruciatingly long time, THAT is what is good about it. If it were a normal song when played, than what would be the point, you know? We'd all just listen to it at normal speed. This thing is designed to be experienced at a speed that we have no comprehension of. It's also possibly designed to make us very aware of time. This song FEELS long even at just 4 minutes. Which is kind of interesting.
The next change in chord will be at 10/5/2013. And after that it's exactly this same chord for 7 years. I was there yesterday and, believe me, c and d sharp sounded rather good in that old church ruin abandoned by time, inhabited only by light and sound. ;)
I read somewhere that this progression would go on for 2 years until it went to the next part of the song. I looked it up because I thought it meant it would only play like 1 note every 2 years haha.
I would love for someone to do the math and see how many years is equal to 1 sec, 0.5 s, 0.25 s, and so forth. And at which time in this sped up version are we at in 2020, in comparison to the 639 year version.
You know it's a work of genius when somebody says, "It's so simple. I could've done that." Ya didn't do it though. So "simple" doesn't apply to a piece like this.
That's rather... anticlimactic. I was hoping there would be some rhythms and melodies at play when played at a common speed but this is just holding various notes at random creating an ominous etherial feel.

yes - and if means you don't have to be too clever to write it as well
Think about it. This tune will be playing right through the apocalypse.
Nice prediction

John Cage: Ultimate Troll
I've listened the whole album. He's the king of slow music.
bro is over 600 years old
John would listen it at x0.25 speed
no sound with x0.25 speed
It sounds distorted at 0.25 speed, and scary
Pretty sure you meant 0.025
Ahahahahahahaha
I’d like an updated time frame on this piece at that pace.
Can be a background music for horror movies. Lol
This song is a little to fast

3279. Once the practice performance is done, they'll have to redo it with equipment that can record it as a continuous piece.
It can take years for a single note to be played
An incredibly, wonderful, powerful composition on a magnificent organ

nobody "works" where this is played
Наконец нашел воспроизведение этой композиции! Спасибо. А другим каналам с их 700 лет......., не вставляете воспроизведение, за это вам позор.
I'll be dead by the time the real one reaches the equivalent of the 35 second mark here.
SLOOOOWWWWW DOWN.
I can't even hear myself think!
Me: presses 2x speed
Also me: Hackerman
This is hypnotic...
Would´nt mind having this playing on repeat in the back on a tripy afternoon ;)
Wonderful. The two first chords reminds me of a swedish christmas song called ”jul jul strålande jul” (a very beautiful christmas melody by the way).
I agree. And the chord changes in this slow cage piece are not even beautiful. Adore Jul, Jul strålande Jul. I play it in California every Christmas Eve service, no matter people don’t recognize it here.

john cage's a genius.
For anyone keeping track, the change at 1:11 is the same as the change in September 2020
This is where corona and toilet paper have brought me
Hahahaha
Haha I laughed so hard at this comment 😂😂
I'm listening to this at 00:07 am and I'm kind off scared now..
lol, hope you’re doing okay now, it’s been over a year
When you speed it up, it sounds like an escape scene from an old movie.
eminem: im the fastest rapper
John Cage: hold my beer
I feel that's amazing! It kind of teaches us that patience is all; that TIME is all, and we don't have to rush everything. That's just my point of view c:
as it changes it changes key you feel that the universe is getting closer to the end
I like it. This is music, nothing random about it. Cage was no fool.
I want to be there when it ends in 600 years and the audience demand an encore 😂

I plan to learn how to do the splits again someday and imagine John Cage would be ideal harmony for this activity. I might have to hit repeat.
can't wait till the vinyl release

@@marygraham1709 You're full of it. It's just ambience, barely recognizable as music. John Cage just wanted to make weird stuff for the sake of it.
This is a certified hood classic
*still listens to it at 2x speed*
Are there any lyrics?
VERY GOOD
I feel sad that I never heard the beginning and I'll never hear the end in person😢😧
Greetings from the past, people of XXVII century!

what did you expect from john cage lol?
it's not random it's actually a bunch of slow inner voice movements and the narrative feels cohesive to me, at least
The full version is maked to last 639 years,the first 3 notes spend 18 months fo your life
5th september 2020 guys! Mark your calendars!
Hii I'm here 😀
It's tomorrow or 2 days later (at the time of making this comment).
thanks for reminding me! Is there like a stream or something to watch it on?
@@RegahP
As far as I know, they don't hold any stream of the song.
Try looking for any on RUclips or a different source.
They actually play individual chords for months or even years, and that's how the piece can be stretched out over 639 years.
Sometimes we leave little Easter eggs behind for ourselves lol
this is the end beautiful friend the end
Faster than I thought it would be.
An actual performance of this piece is supposed to take 639 years.
I felt the bit where it said eeeeeeeeeee
I'm gonna have to stick it on repeat and annoy the neighbours
That feel good moment when you finally know that Goku vs Frieza is shorter than this.
@traktus5 theres a performance in a church that lasts for around 639 years
i do love myself a good nightcore remix
wowwwwwwwww
I shouldn't have listened to this, now all the thrill and suspense for the years 2639/40 is gone. I will be so bored then.
