john cage's longest composition at st burchardi in halberstadt, germany. the performance ends 639 years after it begins. this is a similar class (but different type) of persistence problem as that faced by the long now foundation in building the 10000-year clock. how do you keep something going for that much time? more tenuous connections: a canticle for leibowitz, anathem, and the book of the new sun.
