PROPOSED EDITION 022 · NOT YET PUBLISHED

See You in 2640

A concert measured in generations

The Halberstadt performance of John Cage’s ORGAN²/ASLSP is planned to end in 2640. Drop in for a while. Then consider the instrument, the instructions, and the people who keep the performance going. A note can last a long time; arranging for someone to care for it is harder. The ending belongs to people the organizers will never meet.

Inside this idea

  1. 01Stay for a few minutes
  2. 02Keeping the air moving
  3. 03When the sound changes
  4. 04Who has the keys next?
