Tristan Perich
Tristan Perich is an American composer and artist, born in 1982 and based in New York. His music combines acoustic instruments with 1-bit electronics. He is best known for 1-bit symphony (2010), released as a CD case containing the circuit that plays the piece. Perich graduated from Columbia University and took a master's degree at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. 1-bit music had already appeared in the same circuit-in-a-case form.
