It is a pleasure to meet a keen connoisseur of the seminal work of the most
illustrious Luther Blessitt. His piece "Rubbing of a leather jacket against a
wickerwork chair" follows the classical tradition of the master of minimalism
John Cage, although it has been argued that he was greatly influence by the
seminal work of Karlheinz Stockhausen and his ground-breaking experiments
in music using controlled chance.
Stockhausen often wrote music that was impossible to play, or made the
scores so long and complicated that there was never sufficient time to play
it in its entirety.
Leif Inge has taken this concept to the extreme where he has slowed
down a recording of Ludwig van Beethoven's ninth symphony stretched
to 24 hours, without pitch distortion. It was started on saturday
may 7th, 2005, at 20h15 (the moment of sunset (local time) in Vienna, Austria,
where Beethoven's ninth symphony was first performed, on may 7th, 1824)
and it has been playing ever since.
Listen to 9 Beet stretch
Oh and by the way that leather jacket I wore was completely out of tune,
so some of the rustles and creaks were a bit discordant, but thank you for
being so kind as not to mention it.
