About

A powerful beam of light projects the sound of Longplayer, a 1000-year long musical composition, across the river Thames. Sonic Ray encodes the sound of Longplayer into the light source and transmits it at the speed of light from the Faraday lighthouse on Trinity Buoy Wharf, to the opposite bank of the river, creating a new temporary listening post aboard Richard Wilson’s nautical sculpture Slice of Reality, on the Greenwich peninsula foreshore. A short ferry ride connects the two locations.
