Noise Patterns (2016). Tristan Perich

• I'm listening to the Spotify version of Noise Patterns although I do have the 1-Bit Symphony electrical "CD."
• "In the vein of Perich's previous projects, it's a black circuitboard made up of an on/off switch, microchip, watch battery, volume knob, fast-forward button and headphone jack." Cool Hunting
• "It's swirling digital showers of falling 1's and 0's coming together to create vast waves of intense brain flossing electro-acoustic noise, also it is completely assembled on a circuit board (unlike the vast array of noise being released on cassettes week after week)." Bleep
• "Questions of categorization appear paramount to Perich; his triptych of related releases—1-Bit Music, 1-Bit Symphony, and Noise Patterns—tease the binary between “album” and “instrument” in ways that the similar Buddha Machine or even Brian Eno’s Bloom could not." 8.0 on Pitchfork
• "Noise Patterns is coarse and cold, for the most part, but wandering deep into its tundra is actually a hypnotic experience." exclaim.ca.  I had a similar experience. It took a second listen to begin to assimilate the aesthetic.
