Hundreds of people flocked to a German church Saturday to hear an organ change chords for the first time in nearly seven years.
The experimental piece, which consists of eight pages of music meant to be played very slowly, is intended to last for an entirety of 639 years -- meaning it will end in 2640 if all goes according to plan.
The organ had been playing the same chord for six years and 11 months before Saturday's chord change
Best known for a composition called 4'33" -- which is just four minutes and 33 seconds of silence -- Cage wrote Organ/ASLSP in the 1980s.

I wonder if the composer thought there was something special, or prophetic about 639 years.
I thought Johnny Cage was a Mortal Kombat fighter.
You're not wrong!
Cage was to music what e. e. cummings was to literature.
John Cage, Maya Angelou and Piss Christ
have replaced
Beethoven, Shakespeare and Michelangelo.
Say hello to the new chord!
Same as the old chord!
My favorite guitar key is A.
So, I’m hoping it’s an A chord so I can jam with it.
‘Won’t Get Fooled Again‘ is in A...as I recall...
>Nyan Cat Ten Hours
My favorite comment from the utube page...
“I flagged the video for sexual content and now YouTube has to watch it ALL”
I’m afraid I’m not up for more than a few minutes of it but I did listen to all four sides of Metal Machine Music, in Quad no-less.
I’m just curious how it came to be that you discovered Nyan Cat. Many years ago a fellow Freeper turned me on to Vocaloid.
For something also quite different, how about a Dwarf Metal band from Italy? Diggy Diggy Hole by Wind Rose
