Of course, the technique isn't practical for all songs. For instance,
composer John Cage's “As Slow as Possible,” which is currently being
performed in Germany, begins with a silence that lasts 16 months, followed
by a single chord to be played on Jan. 5, 2003, then another silence, then
another chord on July 5, 2004, and the final chord in 639 years.
The
Science Behind the Song Stuck in Your Head
Guess you won't have to worry about being earwormed by that song, but the
article does go into depth as to why certain songs cause people to
be earwormed. My Sharona!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
