New York artist Tristan Perich is giving a series of unique electronic music performances across the United States. Perich's duet Dual Synthesis (for harpsichord and 1-bit electronics) explores the viscerality of electronic music. Mixing primitive sounds from his own hand-constructed instruments with the antique harpsichord, he choreographs intersections between acoustic and electric sound.

From art galleries to noise venues, Perich stages his physical approaches to the construction of sound. A regular staple of the New York City experimental scene, he creates music that spans electroacoustic, classical and noise. In addition to his solo work, he is also known for collaborative projects with the Loud Objects (Tristan Perich, Kunal Gupta, Katie Shima).

For composer/inventor Tristan Perich, Dual Synthesis comes on the heels of finishing his new album, 1-Bit Symphony. An electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip, 1-Bit Symphony expands on the format of his 2005 release, 1-Bit Music. A departure from traditional recordings, 1-Bit Symphony literally ‘performs’ its music live when turned on. A complete music circuit, programmed by the artist and packaged inside a standard CD jewel case, plays the composition through a headphone jack mounted in the case itself. Probing the foundations of digital sound, 1-Bit Symphony celebrates the virtuosity of electricity. The new album, to be released by Cantaloupe Music, will be available exclusively for presale at performances during the tour.
