Beethoven in the Tank

Slow Beethoven by The TANK Center for Sonic Arts

The opening fugue of Opus 131 played at one-seventh speed, by a distinguished quartet consisting of Lara St. John, Miranda Cuckson, Milan Milisavljevic, and Jeffrey Zeigler. The musicians were recorded at National Sawdust, in Brooklyn, and their performance was then relayed through the hyper-resonant acoustics of The Tank, in Rangely, Colorado. Bruce Odland and James Paul oversaw the process.
