Old News:
The New York Times has an interesting report on a live performance of the John Cage work, "As Slowly As Possible" at a church in Germany. The Times is late, though: the Wall Street Journal covered the exact same performance three years ago.

Considering the duration of the piece, it's still "breaking news."

Any one who follows trends in New York knows that when the Times covers something it means it is about to hit a decline. As this performance is supposed to last another 639 years I hope the Times curse will not adversly effect it.

Reneviht has a point :) I actually remember hearing about this when I was in music school, which would have been before 2002... music geeks get pretty excited over this kind of thing, another big hit having been Cage's 4'33".

I wonder if as an encore, the church might consider a performance of LaMonte Young's "Composition #7" (B-F#, "to be held a long time")...

The Times late? Not by enough to be even noticable.
