Art Week Exeter (produced by ) is back, from 6–12 June 2022. Hear new and archive material from Exeter sound artists at 9pm on Devonstream, every evening during the week.

Tonight at 9pm we go back to 2018, when Art Week Exeter hosted a Longplayer listening post in St Martin’s church on Cathedral Green.

Longplayer is a 1000-year-long musical composition by Jem Finer. Alongside the listening post, Art Week Exeter commissioned a new musical composition inspired by Longplayer (and borrowing some of its mathematics), called Shortplayer IV.

In this programme, Exeter-based composers Emma Welton and Simon Belshaw talk to Phonic FM’s Jez Winship about developing Shortplayer IV; the piece is performed in full; then Jem Finer can be heard in conversation with Devon-based sound artist and radio-maker Alice Armstrong.

This project was produced for Art Week Exeter 2018 with support from University of Exeter Arts & Culture.
