As Slow As Possible

This podcast episode delves into the unique world of the ASLSP performance, centered around an unconventional pipe organ. The ASLSP, meaning "As Slow As Possible," challenges performers to play the piece as slowly as possible, and the sustained notes of the pipe organ make it the ideal instrument for this purpose. The episode explores the history of ASLSP, the intricate system of pipe organs, and the concept of playing a piece indefinitely. It also discusses the emotional impact of chord changes, the uncertainty surrounding the project's future, and the historical significance of Halberstadt's pipe organ. The episode concludes by exploring the limitations of the 12-note system in music and how musicians navigate them.
