Tristan Perich

1-Bit Symphony
(Cantaloupe Music)

Quite simply Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip... It really is that sparse; a reductionist experiment in sound and noise that bursts through the cones in a fit of hyper-colour, it utilizes on/off electrical pulses, synthesized by assembly code and routed from microchip to speaker, to manifest data as sound. The device treats electricity as a sonic medium, making an intimate connection between the materiality of hardware and the abstract logic of software.
