Welcome to a live performance of ANNUM, composed by Dave Madden. This piece is to be played at approximately 30 BPM—beats per month. It contains a total of 365 beats (one beat is added for leap years). Each quarter note beat occurs at 9:00 AM local time. A whole note lasts for 4 days. Eighth notes are played every 12 hours, quarter note triplets every 16. A PDF of the sheet music is available; alas, the composer is powerless to prevent pianists from rushing through the piece 100,000 times faster than the tempo marking, in which case a performance of ANNUM would take about 5 minutes. Enjoy the music, and share it with a friend… or enemy.
