Jem Finers Long player is a composition designed to last a thousand years without repeat until the composition ends, and begins again. Currently present in a windmill in Trinity Bouy Wharf and maintained by a group of trustees. The composition itself was written in the years leading up to its beginning on the 1st January 2000 and is played by a computer in the windmill as well as streamed on the internet. The sound the audience hear is created through singing bowls at different pitches and tombres, these bowls are presented in the long player room and can be bought and engraved to support the piece financially. Finer’s intention for long player was to assist the audience in questioning longevity, community, and societies attitudes to the passing of time passing. I left the long player with more consideration of the distant future, the world after I will know it. I questioned what the world will look like in a thousand years, and what long player will look like in a thousand years. Within the group there were many discussions of long players existence, will it continue for the full thousand years? If it does not, will longplayer still exist just in a different form? To me the current form of long player is friven mostly from the experience of it, not to say that the stream of long player is not included in this but to physically experience the long player within the lighthouse and amongst the singing bowls is a different, amazing, experience.
