Eight independent sound tracks are heard from behind eight panels,
each painted a different set of colours. The sixty-minute composition,
consisting of sequences of abstract sounds and samples, is heard
through the colour. Divided into eight tracks amplified to separate
speakers, the sound feels like it is moving around the space. The
large painted panels are intended to evoke speaker stacks. Jem
Finer is a musician whose "Long Player" project of
a thousand -year non-repeating music composition was sponsored
by Artangel in 1999 and will run for the next millennium.
