The [URL=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10260769.stm]BBC[/URL] profiles New York visual artist and composer Tristan Perich (and others) in a compelling article on the chiptune music scene. Perich works with low level electronics to create music called "chiptunes." He's getting ready to release the 1-bit Symphony on a single microchip, housed in a CD case that Perich has coded and programmed. Chiptune music popularized by video games in the 1980s, was created using a computer or video game console sound chip.
"I'm from the same generation as chip tune artists," says Mr Perich. "The aesthetic of the sound itself, the buzz and tone is something I find to be really beautiful. Lately I have tried to take it more toward mathematics and the limits of logic rather than chiptunes. But then it's all microchip music so I am part of that world."
