A generative visual for Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony.

Perich's album plays from a circuit inside its CD case. We turned that 1-bit logic into a grid of squares that react to the music in real time, changing colour and rhythm with its frequencies. Like the album, the piece loops forever and makes the hidden structure of the sound visible.

  • Square grid of blue, teal and green blocks with orange bands, sound rendered as colored pixels
  • Frame of SpectrogramSymphony in yellow, cyan, purple and black blocks, like a deconstructed spectrogram
  • The squares change with the frequencies.
  • Diagonal staircase of purple, blue and black squares across a pixel grid driven by the music
  • Teal, black and lime pixel grid with an orange streak, a still from the generative audio visual
  • Blue and maroon pixel blocks with an orange and red band at the base of the grid
