Over the years renowned modern classical composer and sound artist Tristan Perich has composed a series of compositions as well as sound art installations with 1-bit electronics, which he describes as being music that never has more than one bit of information being played at any given time. On Wednesday, May 9th, he will premiere his most ambitious project yet: A piece for 50 violins and 50 self-built 1-bit speakers. Perich investigates the spaces where the physical world meets the abstract world of computational electronics, writing intricate arrangements that blend lo-fi 1-bit sound with cascading melodies performed by classically trained musicians. Also performing that night is Lesley Flanigan, an experimental electronic musician known for her work with handmade speaker feedback instruments and voice. Flanigan takes a sculptural approach to sound design and will present a new project for subwoofers and solo voice.
