Sleep Stops Play
A fictional long-wave broadcast of a never-ending Test match, complete with listener messages, archives, faults, sponsorship, and future audience voting.
Field notes
The project frames a generated Test match as a long-wave service at 186 kHz, with listening controls ranging from 30 minutes to “Never.” Its participatory layer includes a studio pigeonhole, a twenty-four-hour read-out archive, and fault categories covering commentary, sound, match continuity, and wireless silence. The page says future listeners’ votes will determine the next change of shift, while its disclaimer limits the fiction’s use of real cricketing names.
