Monster Truck Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by New York-based artist and composer Tristan Perich. Inspired by the aesthetics of maths and physics, Perich works with simple forms and complex systems.
For this exhibition, Perich will be exhibiting a body of work that includes sound sculptures and drawings – the result of a long-standing interest in code and systems.
Perich’s sound sculptures – Interval Studies – look at musical intervals as a dense continuum of microtonal pitch, expressed en masse as discrete 1-bit frequencies distributed across hundreds of individual speakers. Each speaker, emitting a single, primitive 1-bit tone, becomes a microscopic voice in the total cluster, substituting individual pitch for larger sonic masses.
The Machine Drawings – pen on paper or wall drawings executed by a custom-built machine, use randomness and order as raw materials within a composition. The machine drawings are a combination of the delicacy of real drawings and the rigid, structured system of mechanics and code.
