About Tristan Perich
Tristan Perich is a New York-based composer and visual artist whose work centres on the simplest possible digital sound: a single on-off signal. His album 1-Bit Symphony was released as a working circuit mounted inside a CD case, playing the piece live through a headphone jack rather than from a recording.
His larger works set acoustic performers against banks of small speakers driven by his own electronics. Surface Image, written for pianist Vicky Chow, pairs solo piano with dozens of channels of 1-bit sound. He applies the same approach to drawing, building machines that produce large ink works from simple programmed rules.
