The 50-minute work for 3 vibraphones and 20-channel 1-bit electronics is performed by the dynamic French group, ensemble 0, who return to Erased Tapes following their 2023 collaboration with Peter Broderick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerich’s music spans the electronic\/classical divide, with explorations that pair string instruments, piano, organ, and other acoustic instrumentation with custom-built 1-bit electronics, including his recent Drift Multiply, for 50 violins and 50 speakers. This newest release, Open Symmetry, pares the ensemble down to just 3 musicians playing the resonant metal bars of 3 vibraphones accompanied with a glistening ensemble of 20 speakers, each playing their own separate musical part of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1-bit sound is Perich’s core musical language, creating an aural and conceptual consistency across his major works. His 2004 release, 1-Bit Music, was the first album released as a microchip, which plays its music through a headphone jack in the side of the CD case that houses an electronic circuit. With 1-bit sound, the audio waveform is built from 1s and 0s, the binary language of information, in contrast to the perpetual stride towards higher fidelity with 16- or 24-bit, and most recently 32-bit audio. When stripping away all those bits, the result is a primitive, square-shaped tone, which Perich either presents on its own (as in his circuit albums or solo shows), or blends it with classical instrumentation, each composition an experiment in sonic colour, shape, and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50430226760011,"sku":"2201107","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50430226432331,"sku":"2201106","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6ff9b398-4aee-517b-7bb5-f156bd5acdfe_536df30d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726845978"},{"product_id":"noise-patterns","title":"Noise Patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decade after his 1-Bit Music release became the first ever circuit album and six years after his 1-Bit Symphony garnered critical acclaim, composer\/artist Tristan Perich returns on June 24 with a formidable new circuit composition entitled Noise Patterns, on Physical Editions. A masterful tour de force of electronic sound, Noise Patterns digs deeper into the primitive particles of digital 1-bit audio that has become Perich's signature sound. Investigating rhythm, texture and noise, Noise Patterns will appeal to fans of the outer limits of modern electronic music, from Alva Noto and Mark Fell to Fennesz and Actress, as well as the early minimalist composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. As with his previous circuit albums, Noise Patterns is not released as a CD or record. Noise Patterns comes as a matte-black circuit board. Plug in and switch it on to listen to Perich's music unfold with sublime, physical presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Physical Editions","offers":[{"title":"Accessories","offer_id":50440415117643,"sku":"404418","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/18f99009-2d3e-49ec-9a3b-e160dbd109c2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726961475"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/tristan-perich.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
