1-Bit Symphony

 Sound Research by Tristan Perich
This simple (yet some what scientifically complex) circuit performs a 1-bit symphony by the flick of a switch and the aid of an auxiliary cable. Creating something interactive like this would defiantly reach out to my target audience at the book fair. Despite this its interactive element is not instant and wont have the facilities to play it to them which may put people off. I want to create something for this brief that for-fills some of my own creative aims but need to make sure I don't neglect the brief or the target audience.

"Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case like his first circuit album (1-Bit Music 2004-05), 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally "performs" its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself."
