Plus-Minus Ensemble introduces UK audiences to the music of American composer Tristan Perich, with two works for instruments with 6-channel 1-bit electronics. The WIRE magazine describes his compositions as “an austere meeting of electronic and organic” and the Wall Street Journal said “its oscillations have an intense, hypnotic force and a surprising emotional depth”. See here for a short intro to Tristan’s 1-bit music.
