In one of David Toop's books he talks about a piece by Edgar Varese which
is a three minute long composition for piano long but which bears the
performance instruction "Play 349 times" or something. It was performed in
its entirety once by a group of performers that included John Cage from
memory, working in shifts over a long weekend. Apparently when listening to
it, each time through the piece 'felt' different, as you could feel the
memory of the music through itself.

Messing with time by constantly redefining a temporal orientation point.

Let yourself fall into it and time ceases to have meaning.
