LongPlayer: 1,000 Year-Long Piece of Music
Longplayer is a 1000 year long piece of music which started to play on the 1st January 2000 and will continue to play, without repetition, until the 31st December 2999, when it will come back to the point at which it began - and begin again.
In its present and original incarnation, as a computer program, it’s been playing since it began in the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London E14. It’s also playing in the planetarium at the Bibliotheca Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt, the Powerhouse, Brisbane, Australia and in Rufford Park, near Nottingham, England. Plans are in an advanced stage for other listening posts around the world.
Streaming this now. It sounds like ghostly ambient drone, with assorted bells ringing from time to time. This is my kind of music! Not sure if it’s long enough, but I heartily approve nonetheless.
