Tristan Perich's music always combines acoustic instruments and 1-bit microprocessors played through small individual speakers. The radical nature of his approach seems to want to reconnect with the spirit of 1960s Minimal Art, at a time when many so-called “minimalist” composers have chosen the "holy" or the "mystic" path. But Perich isn't that cold: there's also something adolescent about his 1-bit electronics, a tenderness for glitchy machines that's almost reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's fascination for aliens and robots.

PARALLELS is a negotiation between material simplicity and cognitive complexity, in the dazzling light of the rhythmic textures of tuned triangles and hi-hats.
