SpectrogramSymphony is a generative artwork inspired by Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony—a groundbreaking composition that explores the raw, minimal essence of digital sound. This project takes an algorithmic approach to translating Perich’s 1-bit music logic into a visual language, constructing a grid-based system that reimagines sound as movement, structure, and color.
The composition is rooted in a deconstructed amplifier and sound visualization aesthetics, where each element reacts directly to the album’s real-time audio output. Squares within the grid behave like waveforms in motion, shifting color, rhythm, and movement in response to the music’s frequencies and dynamics. The visuals exist in a perpetual loop, mirroring the self-contained, generative nature of Perich’s own 1-bit compositions.
This piece is both an homage and an exploration—it dissects the mechanics of digital sound and reconstructs them in a way that is both computational and experiential. By making the invisible structures of sound visible, Spectrogram Symphony bridges the auditory and visual, creating an immersive space where algorithmic music meets algorithmic motion in an endless dance of light and rhythm.
