Longplayer Listening post launched at La Casa Encendida, Madrid

Longplayer can now be heard at its newest listening post at La Casa Encendida, a unique social and cultural centre in Madrid with an incredible public programme of exhibitions and workshops on cultural, social and environmental issues.

Visitors can listen to Longplayer’s composition unfolding amongst the beautiful greenery and scenery of La Casa Encendida’s rooftop, overlooking central Madrid.

To celebrate the launch of Longplayer as part of La Casa Encendida’s ACENTO Festival, Jem Finer introduced the work with a talk on the 31st January. This was followed by a listening session in which he told his story through an exploration of the Federico González Jazz Archive held at La Casa Encendida.

Linday Seers’ film, ‘Homage to Longplayer’, was also exhibited at La Casa Encendida until 9th February.

The Longplayer listening post will be installed until January 2026.
