Longplayer

Director-Editor/HD/Colour/3mins 12secs/2014

A short film commissioned by Artangel and the Longplayer Trust to introduce ‘Longplayer’, a thousand year long musical composition.

Longplayer 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.
