Music device in a CD case

David Pescovitz 8:47 am Wed Aug 31, 2005

One Bit Music is a circuit packaged in a CD case that plays minimalist glitch electronica. If you're in the NYC area, inventor Tristan Perich will present the technology at the Dorkbot-NYC meeting September 7. From the Dorkbot announcemenet:

Merging his interests in physical computing and electronic music, artist and composer Tristan Perich will give a presentation on his recent project, One Bit Music. Electronics programmed and packaged in a standard CD jewel case by Perich play minimal glitch/dance music when headphones are plugged in. The device is meant to fit into the standard album-based method of music distribution: you will find it along other CDs in a record store and it has different tracks; it will be released by Cantaloupe Music in the upcoming months.
