How Do You Make Something Last 1,000 Years? (2014x64)

Air date: Jun 16, 2014

In Trinity Buoy Wharf lighthouse in London -- and a few other science museums around the world -- sits Longplayer, a musical composition designed to last a millennium. How do you keep something running for that long? Thanks to Rob Blake for holding the camera through the many takes. This one took a while... And thanks to Martin Deutsch for reminding me about Longplayer!
