EM Acoustics continues to support artistic projects with a focus on longevity, including Longplayer at Trinity Buoy Wharf

At Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse in London, Longplayer – a 1000-year-long musical composition by Jem Finer – has been playing continuously since it began at midnight on 31 December 1999. This year, EM Acoustics has supported the project by donating equipment for a sound system upgrade.

“Many within the music industry remember Longplayer as part of the millennium celebrations back in 2000,” said Greg Clarke, brand manager at EM Acoustics. “25 years later, we are thrilled at the opportunity to sponsor this project, which is truly an expression of human and artistic legacy across space and time.”

The continuous composition can now be heard through 10 EM Acoustics EMS-51 loudspeakers. This technology is both discreet and provides clear sound.

James Bulley, a trustee of Longplayer, commented, “Working with EM Acoustics on this new spatial listening post for Longplayer at the Lighthouse has been a real pleasure.”

EM Acoustics expressed similar feelings. “As always, we’re delighted to be involved with initiatives that leave a meaningful legacy,” confirmed Clarke. “We thank Longplayer for their work and the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust for their support in helping to organise the upgrade.”

This commitment to sound is echoed in other venues too, such as Theatre Royal Plymouth, where EM Acoustics systems have been chosen for their audio performance and reliability.
