There was an idea connected to millennium especially how to make time experience tangible. Finer's intention is to convey passing time to us from point of view of philosophy, physics and cosmology. His desire to make a 1000 year long music piece build a music system with a shape which reminds the solar system with its rotating planets or an atom structure. The longplayer has a system of six concentric circles where singing bowls are arranged. The music is composed and played as the time passes on every circle according to calculated positions. Combinations of these positions will never be repeated after 1000 years.
The choice of singing bowls was perfect to create a meditation atmosphere and really listen to the longplayer makes me fulfilled by peace, stillness and reflect other questions in my mind. Is there really a time? What represents the record in my phone now the longplayer has been playing for 15 years 333 days 4 hours 25 minutes 46 second. Now it is 29 minutes 25 second. Listening to longplayer makes my mind calm. The rushing thoughts are away and there is a mind with its stillness. I think a combination of a light, a connection with seeing sense would be great experience (as I had it when I was listening to longplayer and researching Roder Crater).
Finer made great hearing experience and anybody who listen to it must realize themselves through that medium.
