This conceptual art book expresses the computational processes behind Perich's 2009 composition 1-Bit Symphony, an electronic circuit housed in a jewel case and played through an embedded headphone jack. The book captures the inner workings of 1-bit symphony over the first hundredth of a second, with tables of numbers and machine language representing the 80.000 computational cycles that comprise the first 1/100 second of the work.

The accompanying audio media player contains Tristan Perich's 1-bit symphony.

The accompanying audio media player consists of: electric circuit components including wire, battery, play switch, track button, adjustable volume knob, and headphone jack, programmed and assembled by hand by the composer, mounted in transparent CD jewel case.
