Investigating rhythm, texture and noise, &#8216;Noise Patterns&#8217;\u00a0will appeal to fans of the outer limits of modern electronic music, from\u00a0Alva Noto\u00a0and\u00a0Mark Fell to Fennesz and Actress, as well as the early minimalist composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass.<\/p>\n<p>As with his previous circuit albums,\u00a0&#8216;Noise Patterns&#8217;\u00a0isn&#8217;t released as a CD or record, but instead, it\u00a0comes as a matte-black circuit board\u00a0with a minimalist design: only a battery, on\/off switch, microchip, volume knob, fast-forward button, and headphone jack are\u00a0exposed on its stark surface. Plug in and switch it on to listen to Perich\u0092&#8217;s music with sublime, physical presence. Fittingly angular, the 6-track album explores how digital noise can be shaped and stressed, from glittering static into the mesmerizing electronic thump of a nightclub.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1009.photobucket.com\/albums\/af212\/motormouthmedia\/Tristan%20Perich%20-%20Noise%20Patterns%20-%205%20-%20Handheld_zpszxxhu2op.jpg?resize=400%2C316\" alt=\"Noise Patterns\" width=\"400\" height=\"316\" name=\"Image1\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" \/>Perich has explored 1-bit audio for many years now, noting its commonplace existence in our day to day lives, from digital alarm clocks to microwave beeps. In a repertoire of music compositions and visual art, Perich pushes the idea that for all the illusion of complexity around us, something basic and binary lies underneath it all.<\/p>\n<p>When &#8216;1-Bit Symphony&#8217;\u00a0was released in 2010, it received accolades in the New York Times, Wired, Wall Street Journal, Pitchfork, The Wire and more. In the intervening years, Perich has explored a wide range of sound projects: his sound installation\u00a0<i>Microtonal Wall<\/i>\u00a0(featuring over 1,500 tiny speakers emitting a dense cloud of microtonal sound) was featured both at the Museum of Modern Art and at this year\u0092s edition of Son\u00e1r Festival, while his 1-bit circuits have grappled with live instrumentation across a series of releases: piano, percussion, harpsichord and even violin ensembles, which landed in Rolling Stone\u0092s \u0093Best of Avant Albums\u0094 the last two years in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Noise Patterns&#8217;\u00a0introduces a new dimension to the 1-bit sound Perich is now known for.\u00a0Navigating the edges of experimental music, ambient soundscapes, industrial noise and even EDM, the album flows from white noise to crackling kicks and hypnotizing bass pulses, growing with visceral density. Ever so slowly, the album ends by disintegrating back into noise. In its conclusion, with beats moving further and further apart, it leaves the listener in a holding stasis that continues until the device is finally turned off.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1009.photobucket.com\/albums\/af212\/motormouthmedia\/Tristan%20Perich%20-%20Noise%20Patterns%20-%204%20-%20Front_zpsqpd5aclq.jpg?resize=400%2C300\" alt=\"Noise Patterns\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" name=\"Image2\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\">These sounds are Perich&#8217;\u0092s very own, programmed by the artist and synthesized in real-time as the circuit plays. The physical format of<em> &#8216;<\/em>Noise Patterns&#8217;\u00a0reveals how Perich engages music at all levels, from sound all the way down to the binary instructions of the hardware. On a technical level, the sonic raw material in &#8216;Noise Patterns<i>&#8216;<\/i>\u00a0is digital 1-bit noise: a probabilistic density of random oscillations that Perich sequences into rhythmic patterns and layers into textures, pulses, rumbles and beats. <em>&#8220;\u0093I&#8217;\u0092ve kept the same structural framework that I programmed for &#8216;1-Bit Symphony,&#8217;\u0094&#8221;<\/em> Perich said. <em>&#8220;\u0093It&#8217;s just the lowest layer, the sound synthesis itself, that changed, from pitch to noise: order to randomness.&#8221;\u0094<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\">Beyond the technical<i>, &#8216;<\/i>Noise Patterns&#8217;\u00a0vividly captures an exciting new development in Perich&#8217;\u0092s music. While indeed grounded in the electronics of sound, it ultimately also suggests a natural world completely removed from technology: one of wind, trees, ocean and tundra. It is a poetic reminder that noise is a material embedded in everything around us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\">Tristan Perich performs Noise Patterns at Le <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1009.photobucket.com\/albums\/af212\/motormouthmedia\/Tristan%20Perich%20-%20Noise%20Patterns%20-%207%20-%20Headphones_zpsm3y3mlfp.jpg?resize=357%2C268\" alt=\"Noise Patterns\" width=\"357\" height=\"268\" name=\"Image3\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" \/>Poisson Rouge (NY) on June 23, with Robert Henke premiering \u00938032_test_composition_01\u0094 (for Commodore CBM 8032), Ricardo Romaneiro performing live electronics, and Karl Larson performing Alvin Lucier\u0092s \u0093Music for Piano With Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Noise Patterns&#8217; is out on July 22 worldwide via Physical Editions\u00a0with exclusive presales starting June 24 at <a href=\"http:\/\/Bleep.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bleep.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more\u00a0information\u00a0on\u00a0&#8216;Noise Patterns,&#8217; visit\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"http:\/\/physicaleditions.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">physicaleditions.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&#8216;1-Bit Music&#8217; and\u00a0&#8216;1-Bit Symphony&#8217; composer\/artist, Tristan Perich, returns with a new circuit composition entitled\u00a0&#8216;Noise Patterns,&#8217; which will be\u00a0out on July 22 worldwide\u00a0va\u00a0Physical Editions.
