The chord was converted directly to a wav file, stretched and edited into a three-minute loopable drone.

Step 1: Consider this chord: E5 A#4 E4 D#4 Db3 C3 Step 2: You might read up a bit about the source of the chord, the piece “Organ²/ASLSP” by John Cage. Cage desired the piece to be played “As Slow As Possible.” Currently it is being performed in Halberstadt, Germany, on a special organ that will play it for a total of 639 years. It’s been going for 21 years so far, and is at this moment playing the above chord.
