Line Out - Comments on Slowness http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/02/slowness It's a slow day on Line Out, which got me thinking, "What's the slowest piece of music I own?"

it's over 30 minutes of noise. Noise counts as slow music, eh?

Some noise can fluctuate quite rapidly, giving it some sense of movement while still being inherently noise, don't you think. See: the Locust.

I meant to ask, Noise qualifies as music? The noise I listened to seemed to move rather slowly through the soundscape.

One track, particularly, has three notes over fifteen minutes, decomposing like an Andrei Tarkovsky film.
