Longplayer


I only just discovered this – there was a launch for a iOS app to go with it last night – Longplayer is a one thousand year long musical composition. It began playing at midnight on the 31st of December 1999, and will continue to play without repetition until the last moment of 2999, at which point it will complete its cycle and begin again. Conceived and composed by Jem Finer, it was originally produced as an Artangel commission, and is now in the care of the Longplayer Trust.”

  1. I thought everyone knew about this? I remember when it was started, thinking “this surely won’t last five years”.
