Longplayer is a 1000-year-long musical composition conceived and composed by Jem Finer. It began playing at midnight on 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. The composition is generated by an algorithmic score which chooses and combines six sections of short pieces of music in such a way that no combination is repeated until exactly one thousand years has passed. This project is rooted in the idea of time- as it’s experienced and as it’s understood, giving insight into the unfathomable expanses of geological and cosmological time, in which a human lifetime is reduced to no more than a blip. Longplayer is composed in such a way that it can be played using any known -or as yet unknown- technology, a necessity given its duration and the uncertain future.
