The Zen Guitar Dojo



Found this interesting website:
 
and statement of the Zen-Guitar-Project:
 
Style: The group plays only one "song" (the composition "One Sound One Song"), repeating and intermixing a series of a dozen instrumental, basic themes. The result is a song that is always the same, and yet never the same. Each composition grows organically and can vary in length from a few minutes to a few hours. (Zen Guitar performances at the New York City Marathon, for example, run the duration of the entire race.) The themes remain constant, but the tempo and mood change according to the moment. The openness of the format allows mistakes and random noises/samples to be incorporated into the composition as they happen. (See also the Zen Guitar Method.)
 
Have a nice day !
