The article discusses the project "ORGAN²/ASLSP" by American composer John Cage. It is a musical piece created to last for 639 years, starting from 2001 and expected to end in 2640. This makes it one of the longest musical performances in the world. The work is played on an organ in a historic church in Halberstadt, with a period of silence that continued until 2003 before the notes were gradually started to be played. The project aims to challenge the concept of time, as audiences follow the evolving sound over centuries, with the possibility of passing on final tickets to future generations, allowing ticket holders to attend the final performance in 2640. To date, about 4% of the work has been completed. It is a unique artistic experiment that transcends the limits of time and expectations, with its duration designed to extend into future generations.
