Longplayer

Longplayer is a musical composition not unlike the Voyager space probes - designed to travel beyond human lifetimes and possibly human cultural lifetimes. This app will let you listen in on this moments' segment of the composition as it unfolds, without the need to travel to the Longplayer installation site in London. It also displays a diagram which shows you where you are in the score, and includes notes and news about the project. I plan to run it on a number of devices, so it's good that it

Longplayer is both aesthetic and informative. The music is very simple, peaceful, and hypnotizing. It's pretty humbling to know you'll only hear less than a hundred thousandth of it in your lifetime. If I was a different consumer who was not familiar with longplayer, I would probably not be willing to pay the steep price tag.

Listening to the Longplayer project reminds me that there are still brilliant, beautiful, amazing, things in this world.

I first heard about Longplayer 15 years ago during a London visit. Evolving from the original listening posts, the ability to now walk and listen to the composition ‘live’ on my iPhone is a marvel. I often have the app running for hours at a time, streamed through a Bose speaker at home. I’ve gifted the app a number of times to friends and family, all have enjoyed it. A version of the app for AppleTV would be appreciated. Namaste.
