JEM FINER's Longplayer
www.longplayer.org
1 January 2000 – 31 December 2999
Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse, 64 Orchard Place, London E14
A thousand-year musical composition, it will play continuously and without repetition from 1 January 2000 until its completion on 31 December 2999.
Longplayer is an attempt to make sense of such a span of time. Emanating from one present moment into the unfolding future of the next thousand years, it provides a projection of growth and change.
Through an exploration of generative forms of music, rooted in the fields of artificial life and complexity, Jem Finer has developed a system which results in an ever-evolving piece of music.
