Initiated in 2005, the Longplayer Conversation invites leading cultural thinkers to conduct a public conversation inspired by Longplayer, a project which unfolds over the course of a millennium. Previous Longplayer Conversations have included Denise Ferreira da Silva and Timothy Morton, Chris Watson and Sir David Attenborough, Marina Warner and Ali Smith, Brian Eno and David Graeber.
Recorded in 1996.
All proceeds from this album help keep Longplayer playing.
2 Longplayer remixes by Robin Rimbaud / Scanner from 2003, never previously released
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 in the autumn of that year, these two tracks made by Robin Rimbaud are now available for the first time. A share of any earnings from these tracks help keep Longplayer playing; thanks to Robin for his generosity.
