Will Long (born December 8, 1980) is an American artist and musician. His music is "mostly created using tape loops",[1] "primarily from personal memories and thought experiments", which "capture very specific instances in Long’s life."[2] He is known for his collaboration with Danielle Baquet-Long in the band Celer, and for his continuation[3] of Celer after her death in 2009.[4] He is also known for his work producing deep house music under his own name, described as "deep, expansive affairs, riven with vocal samples culled from political speeches".[5] He has lived in Tokyo, Japan, since 2010.
