about

In 2003 Jem Finer began inviting artists and musicians to choose a 10 minute section from Longplayer's past, and to use it, in any way they chose, to make a new piece of music.

Recorded late that year, this track made by Pierre Bastien is now available for the first time. All proceeds from this track help keep Longplayer playing, thanks to Pierre for his generosity.

Pierre Bastien (born Paris, 1953) post-graduated in eighteenth-century French literature at University Paris-Sorbonne. In 1976 he built his first musical machinery. For the next ten years he played in various ensembles and composed for dance companies, while developing his mechanical orchestra: an ensemble of musical automatons made of meccano parts and electro- motors, playing on acoustic instruments from all over the world.

The mechanical orchestra developed up to 80 pieces. It took part in music festivals and art exhibitions in Norway (World Music Days), Australia (Tisea), Japan (Artec), Canada (Fimav, Sound Symposium, Mutek), Poland (Warsaw Autumn), United States (Flea Festival)...

In the recent years, Pierre Bastien and his machines collaborated with video artist Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, British singer and composer Robert Wyatt, Trottola circus company, musicians Alexei Aigui, Steve Arguelles, Pascal Comelade and Jaki Liebezeit, among others. His music is released on Western Vinyl, Signature, Rephlex, Morphine, Discrepant and Marionette Records.

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
