Oberheim DSX Sequencer for OB8 Synthesizer
Tristan Perich "0.01s" Book & 1-Bit Symphony Electronic Instrument CD
Some pics of my newly arrived "0.01s" book & "1-Bit Symphony" CD from Tristan Perich.

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.

Vintage Synthesizer Museum Featured on ABC Local News
This one in via the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Emeryville, CA.
This is pretty awesome. It's great to see synths of any kind featured in mainstream news.

"A new East Bay museum dedicated to vintage synthesizers has a collection of instruments that produce unmistakable sounds found in many of the songs of the 1970s and 1980s.
Monday, January 12, 2015 08:24PM
EMERYVILLE, Calif. (KGO) -- In today's digital world, an East Bay man is offering up a serious dose of analog at a new museum he just opened to the public.
Some East Bay musicians and engineers have created a unique music space, one that preserves the history of synthesized and music, as well as the instruments which made those sounds in the 70s and 80s, and maybe even more recently.
The Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Emeryville is a place where music lovers can learn, play, rent, or record.
From the classic to the experimental, the museum has instruments that defined more than a decade of music.
Lance Hill is the mastermind behind the collection that acquired piece by piece for more than a decade.
"It's ridiculous," Hill said in regards to his collection, and obviously an addiction. An addiction he used to keep to himself until he found a space for rent.
"I found the studio," he said. "It looked like an old recording studio from the 80s and I just knew that this was the place to have the collection."
The Vintage Synthesizer Museum includes something that's been in magazines with its famous owner, an oddity made of see-through plastic.

"It was formerly owned by Joe Zawinul of Weather Report. It's kind of in rough condition because he took it on the road," Hill said.
"This clear case, there was maybe 20 of these and I have one of them," Hill said.
It turns out these analog instruments are more than just history. they make sounds that computer engineers still haven't quite been able to imitate. A discerning musician can always tell the difference.
"They sound warm and fuzzy and beautiful," one of Hill's friend's said.
"I don't know, it moves you. It's a little more inspiring," another one of Hill's friends said.
"You are not going to get a computer emulation of this that sounds remotely like this," Hill said.
Unlike digital keyboards, these actually require tuning and they can go out of tune, which some say makes the sound more real."

"Interactive robot orchestra
more info and images - http://vtol.cc/filter/works/nayral-ro
The orchestra consists of 12 robotic manipulators of various designs, each of which is equipped with a sound-transmitting speaker. The manipulators, combined together, form a single multi-channel electronic sound orchestra. Due to constant displacement speakers in space, changing direction of the sound and the algorithms for generating compositions, the orchestra creates a dynamic soundscape. In order to interact with the orchestra, controller Leap Motion is used, that allows to control robots and sound by simple hands gestures in the air - similarly to conducting an orchestra.
The project is based on the idea of a combination of modern music, computer, interactive and robotic concepts and approaches for the creation of works of art. In many ways, it is inspired by well-known works that were presented in the recent past, such as Pendulum Choir (2011) and Mendelssohn Effektorium (2013). However, Nayral Ro is different from these projects in many ways. Its algorithmic system, in which sound and musical composition are being produced, is real time, and the acoustic environment also changes simultaneously with the process of creating the musical piece. Also, the whole process is completely subordinated by the 'conductor', so this a role is similar to such of a composer, performer and operator at the same time.
Creation of more sophisticated versions, more subtly revealing the potential of Leap Motion for tuning to the movement and changes in sound, is being planned for the future development.
