This just another thing like John Cage organ concerto or whatever which lasts for years. This is insane.

indeed, but this is even more insane, the sheer complexity
and it has to be played by a human
and it HAS been played by a human
the most shocking thing is
7000 pages
within 7 days

This calls for a "dude". So...
Dude.
That is incredible. How have we not heard of this guy (the pianist) before? Oh, right, because he's not from this planet...same with Sorabji. I love Sorabji, though, and he's much more musical than Cage (but I still like Cage lol). How much does this CD cost? I can't seem to find it..

Sorabji's genius lay in that he is the supreme master, after the great Bach himself, of the large form, what I call the "Palladian structure". His music, though sometimes frightfully dissonant, nearly borders on the sensual and fragrant while appealing in almost every way of musical invention. He was, one could say, the Carlo Gesualdo of his time.

Did he just press random notes on a computer notation program or something?
Does it have any musical substance?

Wurlitzer, I believe, is best known for their band organs which appear all around the world at carousels in amusement parks & carnivals.

Amazing and incredible feat for any composer. But how about musically? Is it even plausible? BTW, I'm don't really enjoy wierd piano 20th century modern music, so I can't appreciate it much.

I love Sorabji, his music is just incredible and very musical at least IMO. Listen to the Opus Clavicembalisticum if you're still unsure. Or you could always check out his ultra-cool "transcriptions" of Chopin's Minute Waltz or Bizet's Habanera.

Where would I find those, btw? Are they rare recordings?
BTW, I don't know much about this pianist. What year was he born? Still alive? From what country?

It's hard to find recordings of Sorabji's pieces, but I can send you either one of those transcriptions (mp3) if you'd like.
