Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony
07Jun10
Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally “performs” its music live when turned on.
A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. The project is set to be released on Cantaloupe on August 24, 2010 and will retail for $29.

Sounds good. I wonder how much the CD will be?
I can dig it. Are batteries included?
Yeah you can see the silver one right there.
i think your missing the point
Well yes, but that could be for demonstration purposes. Just playing devil's advocate here. That, and I thought it was kind of funny. I'm sure it comes with a battery installed.
I think you're stating the obvious.
I'd be more inclined to buy it if it were quadraphonic.
I think this has been done before, I will look if I can find the link
Seems it was Perich himself who had done this already in 2005 http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/08/19/alternat...
I think that in the future you can buy your music like this on a chip,the only thing is that
you will have to change the battery now and then,and this will cost you.
Perhaps there should be a cheaper alternative.
