Fifteen hours of 2 notes

A musical performance of the same two notes played for 15 hours is to form part of the first conference to celebrate minimalist music.

The conference, due to take place in Bangor, Gwynedd, will discuss the merits of using a few notes, repetition and a limited number of instruments.

The day-long performance involves a piece of music called 1960 Number 7.

Organisers say the performance was shortened from two days over concerns the organ used could stop working.

I could write a two-note symphony. Does that make me a composer?

I wonder if I could get paid to do that...
