Eventually it finished masturbating and went about its business.

I'm posting this because I have a request for an image...I saw it back when I first saw this one. Possibly on SA, I don't remember. But it was another absurd musical score, titled something to do with the devil or hell, and it consisted of a massive rest, followed by one note, another rest, and another note. I believe the rests were on the order of tens of thousands of years due to the time signature and ridiculous number of measures.

I showed this to my girlfriend, and was telling her about the long rest one and can't for the life of me find it.

I think I remember reading about the piece you're talking about, except that the composer intended it as an actual piece of music, and there's an orchestra in the process of playing it, meeting every so often to play the next note.

e: I think that might have been As Slow As Possible of course by John Cage, the guy who brought the world 4'33, a score with nothing in it, played for four minutes and 33 seconds. Not even joking.

Also, here's Faeri's Aire and Death Waltz performed live:

Came to post this. The piece starts with a 17 month rest. It will take 639 years to play.

The title definitely had something to do with the devil or hell. The rests were like 639 or 871 or other absurd measures. Time signature was like 578/4. I don't remember actual numbers but that's the gist.

Also "like a dirigible", "gradually become agitated", and "remove cattle from stage" are my favorite lines from faeries air and death waltz.

Edit: I promise I Google image searches for like a half hour before asking here, all sorts of different wording for absurd, unplayable sheet music, score. It seems it is lost in the internet.

Write up the sheet music, slap a "© Wiggles Von Huggins, 2016" on it, and self-publish it.

Then go edit the "Longest Musical Piece" wikipedia page and send a link to Cage telling him the bad news
