Tip! *2025 stock* Tristan Perich's circuit album, Composition for Three Small Speakers, comes as an electronic device that plays its three-channel music live. Following on his previous circuit albums (1-Bit Symphony, Noise Patterns, 1-Bit Music), Composition for Three Small Speakers is both a composition and a performance. When turned on, its music is synthesized in real-time by code programmed by the artist. Making a physical connection between code and hardware, the music was written to be performed by the same speakers the listener holds in their hands.
Battery-powered circuit which plays the piece through three built-in mylar speakers. Device is programmed to repeat final note indefinitely until turned off. Includes a 12-page booklet.
Commission/coproduction: Festival Musica and La Muse en Circuit.
