Science or Art?

Musician Puts Love for Computer Science into Minimalist Synthesizer

Recycled CD cases become bare-bones music players with the addition of a simple microchip and handful of other components, in a creation by a New York University graduate student in interactive telecommunications. Tristan Perich composes electronic music that can be encoded with just one bit -- compared to the sixteen bits of a CD -- and stores it in the 8 Kilobyte chip at the heart of his low-tech iPods.

I think it's cool that they cover his work, but what the commentators say along with the guy who is interviewed make it laughable, it actually sounds just like a parody although I know this is for real.
