Sometimes the best musical ideas can’t be expressed within restrictive time constraints — inventive, nuanced sound forms need space to unfold. Through extended duration, themes can blossom with repetition, decay and rebirth. Frosty dedicates this special edition of Open End to long songs. We dive into works from around the world, each clocking in between 15 and 20 minutes. Unconventional song structures and bold ideas take shape within the expanse. Spend some time with music as it was meant to be: Free of temporal captivity!
