Full details on the book release previously captured here. The book contains 635 pages of 1s and 0s. that cover cover the first 1/100th of a second of the 1-Bit Symphony CD. Think about that the next time you play your digital synth for a bit.
1-Bit music made its first appearance here on MATRIXSYNTH back on August 8, 2005, just over one month after MATRIXSYNTH in the current format started.When I put up that first post, the project brought a number of things to mind. One, CDs are digital recordings of audio. Here was a CD that generated audio through digital circuits. Being 1-bit also implied bringing the audio down to its most simplistic, elemental form. Digital synths are known for their complexity and variety, and typically, so is the audio recorded on CD. The 1-bit CD seemed to be an expression of simplicity by breaking down what we define as music and syntheses to its minute source. With the release of the book at 690 pages of 1s and 0s covering 10 milliseconds or a centisecond, you realize how much actually goes into it.
You'll find previous posts over the years on the 1-bit channel.
