On 31 December 1999, a piece of music started playing in a lighthouse in East London. It's called Longplayer, and it's set to keep going, without repeating, until the year 2999. It was created by Jem Finer from The Pogues, using 234 Tibetan singing bowls. Megan Jones has been to meet Jem Finer, to find out why he wanted to create a one thousand year long musical composition.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: The Longplayer listening post at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London.

This is my Longplayer so far.. In 2009, my wanderlust led me to the Cape of Good Hope, a land full of contrasts, but also impressive flora and fauna. Those few weeks at the outer tip of Africa left far more of a mark than I realized. When it came to finding a theme for my first album, I didn't have to think long. The album's 12 tracks are closely linked to people, experiences, and places at the Cape of Good Hope. The whales of "Walker Bay" are immortalized with their song in track 10. The voice in track 11 was a daily companion, and Africa Day represents the joy of life and the hope of the people of South Africa. I'll leave the design of all the other images to you :) Hartmut Kiss

Oubliez les morceaux qui durent 3 minutes 30 ou même les albums interminables : voici Longplayer, un titre qui défie totalement notre perception du temps. Il a débuté le 1er janvier 2000… et sa dernière note ne résonnera qu'en 2999. Oui, vous avez bien entendu : ce morceau dure 1000 ans. C'est l'œuvre musicale la plus longue jamais conçue. Imaginé par l'artiste britannique Jem Finer, Longplayer n'est pas qu'un simple morceau expérimental, c'est une composition générative, pensée pour ne jamais se répéter pendant un millénaire. Elle est jouée en continu, en temps réel, grâce à un algorithme basé sur des cloches tibétaines. On peut l'écouter depuis certains lieux physiques comme le Trinity Buoy Wharf à Londres, ou en streaming, pour les plus curieux… et les plus patients. Alors c'est quoi ce morceau ? Combien de temps dure-t-il ? Et où peut-on l'écouter ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Thomas Deseur. Date de première diffusion : 29 novembre 2021 A écouter aussi : Comment une chanson devient-elle un hit musical ? Pourquoi la culture drag queen s'impose-t-elle aujourd'hui ?

Marlon Williams (Kāi Tahu, Ngāi Tai) joins Hunter to discuss the kaupapa behind 'Te Whare Tīwekaweka' their new album and first entirely in te reo Māori.
Shannon Fowler sits down Max to discuss the stories behind their second album as Tom Lark, 'Moonlight Hotel'.
Für ihre Arbeit wurde unser heutiger Gast vielfach ausgezeichnet, hier mal eine Auswahl: Telestar, Grimme-Preis (nicht nur einmal), Goldene Schallplatte, Bayerischer Filmpreis (nicht nur einmal), Goldene Kamera, Preis der dt. Filmkritik, Kunstpreis Berlin und auch den Sonderpreis beim Fernsehfilmpreis. Das ist ja allerhand. Nun ist die 1972 in West-Berlin geborene Nicolette Krebitz allerdings auch breit aufgestellt, als Schauspielerin, Regisseurin, Musikerin, Sprecherin und Drehbuchautorin. Durch Filme wie "Bandits" wurde sie für eine ganze Generation zur Projektionsfläche. Das ist dem Schauspielberuf zueigen, es hat Vor- und Nachteile, aber wie wird man das Bild, das andere von dir haben, bitte wieder los? Indem man sich immer wieder und immer weiter verändert. Das zumindest wäre eine Erklärung dafür, warum sich Nicolette Krebitz nie auszuruhen scheint. Aus dem Tanz ins Schauspiel, aus dem Schauspiel in die Regie, vom Bekannten hin zum Neuen. Vier sogenannte Longplayer hat sie als Regisseurin bislang vorgelegt, aktuell spielt sie neben Lars Eidinger eine Hauptrolle im Eröffnungsfilm der diesjährigen Berlinale unter der Regie von Tom Tykwer. Playlist: Kid Frost - La Raza Fleedwood Mac - Landslide Tylor the Creator - See you again Prince - I wanna be your Lover Jimi Hendrix - Up from the Skies Laurie Anderson & Jean Michel Jarre - Rely on me# Aaliyah - One in a Million Patti Jo - Make me believe in you Carpenters - Close to you Michael Jackson - We're almost there Diese Podcast-Episode steht unter der Creative Commons Lizenz CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
