PIN Longplayer

Musical time capsule

The Longplayer is an intriguing sort of musical time capsule. It is a track of music designed to last a thousand years; composed by the artist Jem Finer. Longplayer began at the first second of the year 2000, and if all goes well, it will continue until the last moments of 2999, without any repetition. Visitors can listen to the Longplayer in the historic Trinity Buoy Wharf lighthouse - the former lamp room where a computer plays the song continuously, using the sounds of Tibetan `singing bowls`, for more than 15 years.
