1-Bit Symphony
Could Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony be a new way to listen to music? I personally doubt that. But it could be the 2nd best way to sell and listen to music. The idea of CD Jewel cases are almost archaic. Frankly I haven’t actually touched one since about 5 years, but for this minimalistic microchip package and the catchy tones it carries, I’d bring the CD case just everywhere.
Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally “performs” its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. The project is set to be released on Cantaloupe on August 24, 2010.
