about

One of Jem Finer's experiments, while researching ways in which to compose Longplayer, was to use Cellular Automata to generate scores. Sometimes using just one CA, and other times several in parallel, orchestras of Cellular Automata, each cell was mapped to a midi note which was fed into a sampler, triggering various different sounds.

Recorded in 1996.

All proceeds from this album help keep Longplayer playing.

about

Longplayer London, UK

Longplayer is a one thousand year long musical composition. It 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. ... more
