Longplayer Legacies

2018

Longplayer Legacies is a concert series that hosted three composers over three nights at the lighthouse in London’s Trinity Buoy Wharf.

Looper was presented alongside performances by Laura Cannell and FutureSelf (Vanessa Brown) who each re-composed and re-interpreted Longplayer (a project by Jem Finer) for an intimate onsite audience and live stream hosted by Sound and Music.

These concerts responded to Longplayer’s ethos of caring for the long term and curated by Ella Finer as a Sound and Music composer-curator, whose own work as a producer explores ideas in re-mix, cross-temporal splicing and the politics of doing so.

The idea for these sessions was to ask how sound legacies are produced and who creates them? Who ensures preservation of them, and how? Who knows where to look for these legacies, and who feels entitled to creatively and critically attend to these materials?
