Longplayer is the brainchild of one of the founding members of the Pogues, Jem Finer. A sound installation at London's Trinity Buoy Wharf (where scientist Michael Faraday conducted experiments), it began on 31st December 1999 and hasn't stopped since. It is intended to last a thousand years.

Using the sounds of hundreds of Tibetan singing bowls, and a piece of music 20 minutes and 20 seconds long, processed by a simple algorithm, the resulting variations can be played without repetition for a millennium.

We encounter a fraction of that sonic journey, as Carnatic singer, artist and composer Supriya Nagarajan plays with time and sound, as she responds to and duets with Longplayer.
