Longplayer is a 1000 year long musical composition. Interesting idea. I listened to a couple of minutes of the live stream and it was pleasant enough but if it was possible to listen to one thing for a thousand years I think I’d choose Mozart. Or maybe Bach. Or… oh heck, if I could live that long I’d listen to everything and once in a while turn off the music and just sit and listen to the crickets outside in the evening.

A 1000-minute long section of this piece is going to be played by live musicians for the first time on September 12th 2009 at the Roundhouse in London. It will be performed on a massive 20-meter wide instrument by 25 musicians. Here’s the link: http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/book-tickets/longplayer-live-3543/3544
