Artist: Tristan Perich (US)

In his arrangements of classical music with simple 1-bit audio accompaniment, Tristan Perich probes the foundations of digital sound. Inspired by the aesthetics of mathematics and physics, he presents low-fi 1-bit electronic music—the lowest possible digital representation of audio. On stage, Perich combines the performance style of a classical musician with output via loudspeakers hooked up to microchips, whereby the equipment is converted into all sorts of acoustic instruments.

  • @quintopia Oh I figured out why...apparently the video was cut and spliced? Did they play the whole thing?

  • Still my favorite arrangement with 1-bit electronics. Don't know why it doesn't get performed more often. This is half as long as the version I'm used to, though.

  • Purely brilliant. I love it. :)
