1-Bit Symphony: Mini-Orchestra Experience — on a microchip.
Over the summer Tristan Perich released an album of five compositions called 1-Bit Symphony, housed in a regular CD jewel case.
So far so typical – apart from the fact that there is no CD here or any recording media. The music is generated live from a microchip inside the case and output from a headphone socket also housed on the case.
So 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording as such, but it is a physical artefact which allows you to experience the production of the music live, just for you. I use the word “orchestra” loosely but hey, this is art. (via)
