Keeping track of all the music Will Long has released under the moniker Celer isn’t an easy task. His output easily numbers in the triple digits, having put out collections of sun-dappled drone since 2005.
This year, the Tokyo-based artist has decided to look back, in an effort to help fans navigate his discography.
“For the first four or five years, everything was handmade," Long says. "Just a few CDs or some just really tiny stuff. I'm sure many people can't find (my music) from the past few years. I don't want people to pay lots of money for those on Discogs or something.” He adds that a few opportunists have tried to sell rare Celer releases online for “outrageous prices.” To counter this, he remastered and re-released his two earliest works under the Celer name — “Continents” and “Scols” — this spring.
