In the three previous articles I talked about three bands that have pittbulls and an African parrot as their vocalists, then the guinness record for "the band with the longest name" and finally "the madness of GeroGeriGeGeGe: 79 songs, 13 minutes total and the letter G".
Today we will talk about songs ... of 𝓘𝓝𝓕𝓘𝓝𝓘𝓣𝓔 duration.
𝔹𝕦𝕝𝕝 𝕆𝕗 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕟 is a band from Colorado (USA), authors of slow, dark and crazy music.
Drone, Doom, Minimalism, Ambient, Avantgarde, noise and experimental music.
They are known for being several record holders, regarding the length of their compositions.
The first song of their career was "001: Weed Problem", released on their website on January 31, 2008.
In the same period of the following year, the band had already released more than 50 songs, for a total of almost 300 hours of music!
It is around this time that the band will start breaking record after record in the length of their songs: "019: Hypnosis, Drugs And Mind Control (The Beginning: A Touch)" lasts 8 hours, "028: Even To The Edge Of Doom "Well 24 Hours," 044: A Corpse In My Arms On Awakening "37 hours but is surpassed by" 045: The Wicked Cease From Struggling "lasting 168 hours!
Between April and May 2009, the band intermittently released new songs, all numbered in Roman numerals (series ending with C = 100).
From September 2009 to January 2010, the band released another new series, known as "Aleph".
The first ten of these contained around 1000 songs in each sub-folder.
"Aleph 10" and "Aleph 11" contain 1 million and 10 million songs.
In December 2009, "118: The Chosen Priest And Apostle Of Infinite Space" was released, a song lasting more than 2 months.
The pieces named "145-152" all last between 50 and 100 hours.
In July 2010, the band released three incredibly long songs: "208: As You Etch On The Inner Window Of Your Eye" lasting 916 hours, "209: Blurred With Tears And Suffering Beyond Hope" lasting 4723 hours, but both are overshadowed by "210: Like A Wall In Which An Insect Lives And Gnaws" a piece that lasts exactly 50,000 hours.
ANTIMUSICS
Between late 2010 and 2011, the band began creating anti-music.
Examples include MP3 files which are actually RAR archives, SWF files, encrypted files, audio pieces hidden within other formats (like PDF and EXE), pieces listed with negative lengths.
ETERNAL MUSIC
In series 238 - 260 each song represents the length of a prime number and each subsequent sequence creates nearly infinite lengths.
All through a computer algorithm that brings together music, notes and noises by remixing predefined clips.
For example the series ending, "260: lcm (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67, 71, 73,79,83)" will end its life when 8.462.937.602.125.701.219.674.955.2362595095 years have passed (to give an idea: the universe has a life of 13.8 billion years. listen to this song from the Big Bang, now it wouldn't even be at 1 / 600,000,000,000,000 of its duration).
In December 2011, "286: 0" and "287: N" are released, the former lasting over 29 million hours and the latter 87 billion hours.
THE INFINITE MUSIC
In 2014, the band released "300: Songs For Girls", followed by 301: "Weed Problem II-V" and "302: It Is Part Of Space And Time" lasting 86,370,000,000 years.
Then "118: The Chosen Priest and Apostle Of Infinite Space" and "210: Like A Wall In Which An Insect Lives And Gnaws" are released.
On July 12, 2014 "303: N (K), 304: 0 (2 ^ 18 × 5 ^ 18)" comes out, then "306: It Is Not A Lack Of Love".
Finally "310: ΩΣPx0 (2 ^ 18 × 5 ^ 18) P * K * K * K", to date, their longest song: it lasts 3,343 fifteen million years (or 10 raised to the power 51, in other words 80,232 fifteen million hours).
