File:Theend24hrsample.ogg


  • This is a 5 minute sample of a 24 hour version of the song "The End' by Us Rock band The Doors.
  • The 12-minute song has been slowed down and elongated to become a 24-hour audio piece
  • I am interested in how timing can be mediated and experienced - a song made in 1967 has been re-appropriated throughout popular culture (e.g. the film ‘Apocalypse now’),

to provide narrative conclusion and elevate the sense of finale. By slowing the piece down its structural climax plateaus into a endless horizon that accompanies the linearity of time, suspending itself into a frozen conclusion
