To a few of my more culturally-aware friends...I too am vexed concerning the use of a 12 hours piece of music that is nothing more than a few notes repeated 840 times. Apparently the inspiration for Warhol's infamous Sleep film, the 12-hour musical piece Vexations will be played live in London very soon.
Is it post-modernism? The throws of the Modernist movement perhaps? Had I payed more attention in class maybe I could answer myself. (Or maybe if it had something to do with post-colonialism I could figure it out. But wait...I didn't pay attention in that class anyway.)
A brief blog on the topic can be found here.
Happy essaying, dear friends.
