Mashing together public domain audio to get cash out of Spotify is too much like work. Vulfpeck, a funk band from Ann Arbor, have released an album consisting of ten 31-second segments of silence; they have asked their fans to stream it continuously on repeat so they can fund their next tour. That’s about $5 from each person for seven hours’ streaming. Spotify know about it, but don’t yet appear to have pulled the plug. This would be why Pandora and Netflix have the “I’m still listening/watching” button. Update: And it’s gone.
I can hardly wait for the John Cage 4?33? supercut.
Time to upgrade me speaker-cables to make the most of this sonic extravaganza…
I should have added “Insert hilarious John Cage joke here.”
