Tristan Perich’s 1-bit Symphony & Machine Drawings
Music symphony on microchip?
For Tristan Perich the border between art and science is very thin. Most probably there is no border at all. Tristan uses his artistic skills and knowledge of electronics and programming to create works which go beyond strict frames and conceptions.
Can a microchip play music symphony? Well, it can be if you add soul to it and Tristan Perich proves that it is possible to create good music with it. You can read this information on
Tristan’s website: 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.
Tristan Perich shortly describes “1-bit Symphony” project

Another project which drew my attention is called “Machine Drawings”. Drawings made without human, entirely drawn by machines programmed and built by Tristan Perich. Algorithms applied with some level of randomness give these works a touch of soul- that’s what I feel at least while looking at these drawings.
