On his 18th birthday, Ryan Knighton was told he would slowly go blind. It’s taken fifteen years, and as Ryan prepares to let go of his last sliver of sight, he sets out to Germany to hear one note give away to another in the notorious 639 year long organ performance of the John Cage composition, As Slow As Possible. Caning his way through the uncertainty-riddled experience of a road trip, Ryan navigates a series of ‘note changes‘ in the form of airports, train stations, the unfamiliar hubbub of foreign cities, and people - some of whom don’t believe he’s blind at all, and one who offers him something profound.

The experience unfolds like a Cage piece itself – a series of chance encounters through a labyrinth of questions, as Ryan contemplates letting go of his old identity, and waits for the new one to emerge.
