Leave a Review Longplayer
Amazing project, a wonder to listen to
I first heard about Longplayer 15 years ago during a London visit. Evolving from the original listening posts, the ability to now walk and listen to the composition ‘live’ on my iPhone is a marvel. I often have the app running for hours at a time, streamed through a Bose speaker at home. I’ve gifted the app a number of times to friends and family, all have enjoyed it. A version of the app for AppleTV would be appreciated. Namaste.Show lessomihakkei
Everyone needs this.
Listening to the Longplayer project reminds me that there are still brilliant, beautiful, amazing, things in this world.MYNMZLIZ
Instant perspective shift
Great app, replicating a wonderful project to extend the human focus beyond the normal scope of days, years and even decades.
Functionality to use Longplayer as an alarm clock or timer would be appreciated.Angular Acceleration
The charming allure of the gradual
Somewhere at some point I knew about the Longplayer Project and I was particularly impressed that the composer chose Tibetan singing bowls as the means of producing the sounds for the piece. I have my own bowl and love not only its depth and variety of sounds but the sense of comfort I experience when playing it. I can only imagine that this app - determined as it is to require of it some kind of human custodianship over the next 1000 years - is part of a message of hope for our race.
The sounds are beautiful, subtle, dreamlike. I shall probably use it during my meditation practice.Show lessansonort
Grand yet simple
Longplayer is both aesthetic and informative. The music is very simple, peaceful, and hypnotizing. It's pretty humbling to know you'll only hear less than a hundred thousandth of it in your lifetime.
If I was a different consumer who was not familiar with longplayer, I would probably not be willing to pay the steep price tag.Show lessSjwinh
Expanding the Universe of Composition
Longplayer is a musical composition not unlike the Voyager space probes - designed to travel beyond human lifetimes and possibly human cultural lifetimes.
This app will let you listen in on this moments' segment of the composition as it unfolds, without the need to travel to the Longplayer installation site in London. It also displays a diagram which shows you where you are in the score, and includes notes and news about the project. I plan to run it on a number of devices, so it's good that it's designed for both iPad and iPhone!Show lessHenry Lowengard
Longplayer
This is a treat for the senses. It plays a resonant piece of music beautifully, and explains the theory and philosophy behind it very well. It's stylish, too, I like the graphics and typography very much.Hincmariana
