Vexations - Erik Satie

Jack Straw Productions curated a complete performance of Erik Satie's "Vexations" which requires the musical composition to be played 840 times in a row. This is a time-lapse video created by members of Hollow Earth Radio (who were broadcasting the event on their internet radio station). The video shows the rotating cast of pianists that made up the complete 19 hour performance. The music is the 840th and final round, played by Tiffany Lin.

Here is the complete list of performers (including repeats), so you can follow along:

Karin Kajita, Chase Hills, William Chapman Nyaho, Ann Cummings, Stanley Whitfield, Hayley Pike, Garrett Fisher, Jennifer Keuer, Brian Kinsella, Amy Rubin, Michael Owcharuk, Rachel Matthews, Aleksandra Tsirkel, Gust Burns, Erin Rubin, Roger Nelson, Daniel Arthur, Ann Cummings, Dawn Clement, Byron Au Yong, Korby Sears, Garrett Fisher, Gavin Borchert, Rachel Matthews, Shenandoah Davis, Jensina Byington, Nicole Truesdell, Keith Eisenbrey, Julie Ives, Tito Ramsey, Kelly Wyse, Paul Kikuchi, Tiffany Lin

Ann Cummings played in this video twice...care to watch the whole thing of 19 hours and 20 minutes just to see her 30 minute slots? No way! but it was a cool project and fun to meet all the other pianists!
