I didn't know it was a contest. I guess the real winner is John Cage for this one.

Five years until the next chord change? Sounds like my kind of piece.

The piece started with a 17-month rest on September 5, 2001, Cage's 89th birthday. The first sound appeared on February 5, 2003. Subsequent dates for note changes include:

July 5, 2004
July 5, 2005
January 5, 2006
May 5, 2006
July 5, 2008
November 5, 2008
February 5, 2009
July 5, 2010
February 5, 2011
August 5, 2011
July 5, 2012
October 5, 2013
September 5, 2020
And I though 4'33 was ridiculous.

Well that's just one performance, he doesn't dictate how long the notes are played for so it could vary quite a bit. I've heard a few pretty good versions.

As if I needed more reason to think John Cage was a complete joke

To be fair there are like 20 minute performances of the piece.

I like some of his stuff, but I can see why you don't certainly.

Do you guys know about this seriously ambitous piece? Started to coincide with the new millenium, part-composed by a former member of The Pogues, it has a series of non-repeating variations generated by a computer, I believe. How this live segment is tied into the overall work, I don't know.
