just get a mate to play A minor and F on a piano on repeat for 8 hours. same deal and probably a lot cheaper.

You’d also need a pipe organ and a very well-trained soprano. The costs would soon add up!

Not records as such but pretty long…

John Cage - ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is meant to last 600+ years. There’s a performance that was started around 15 years ago or so in Germany, on an organ in a little church.

And Sylvain Chauveau has a 7 year piece on-going at the moment with only 17 sounds at various points along the way, the rest is silence: http://www.7yearsofsilence.com
