"Longplayer" is a piece of music composed by banjo player, Jem Finer (a member of the successful folk band The Pogues). Finer uses a bank of computers located at Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse in London, UK, to sequence simultaneous combinations of six short pieces of music composed by Finer and played on Tibetan Singing Bowls. The piece was started as the clocks moved in to the new millennium on 1 January 2000, and will not repeat the same exact combination of music until the last second of 31 December 2999, when the piece can start its second rendition. At one millennium in length, this piece of music is the longest discrete musical composition.
