Tristan Perich.

1-BIT SYMPHONY

One-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.

Tristan Perich is inspired by the aesthetics of math and physics, and works with simple forms and complex systems. The challenge of elegance provokes his work in acoustic and electronic music, and physical and digital art. As a visual artist, Perich has had solo exhibitions at bitforms gallery (NYC) in 2009, and Mikrogalleriet (Copenhagen) and Museo Carandente (Spoleto) in 2010. His work with 1-bit video, including Eighteen Linear Constructions, exhibited in 2009 at Issue Project Room, employs binary electrical pulses to create images on cathode ray televisions. His artwork has been included in group shows at LABoral (Barcelona), iMAL (Brussels), MCLA's Gallery 51 (MA), ABC No Rio (NY), the Philoctetes Center (NY), and Greylock Arts (MA). He studied music, math and computer science at Columbia University, and electronic art at ITP/Tisch.
