Organ2/ASLSP As SLow aS Possible - 10th anniversary

In a medieval church in Halberstadt, Germany, American avant-garde composer John Cage’s music project for organ “Organ2/ASLSP As SLow aS Possible” held its 10-year anniversary last week. Though a decade may seem like a milestone worth celebrating, the anniversary elicited little fanfare, and for good reason: it still has 629 years to go before being completed. The composition, which started playing on what would’ve been Cage’s 89th birthday, Sept. 5, 2001, at St. Burchardi Church, is set to go on until the last notes are played in the far off year of 2640, so long as the funding for it remains stable until then. The next big landmark for the piece will be in 60 years, when the first of the composition’s eight parts will be completed.

"John Cage" authors Fake Steve Jobs Advice Book

This one caught my eye - a fake Steve Jobs advice book printed in Taiwan and authored by non other than "John Cage." This is apparently a very common practice in China, as they obsess over the succes of the Apple co-founder.

This brings up an interesting parallel between Jobs and Cage that I have no doubt was lost on everyone involved except me.
