CD用プラケースを使ったカッコ良すぎるサウンドボックス!!ニューヨークのサウンドアーティスト/コンポーザーTristan Perichによる、サウンドモジュールをCDケースに直接備え付けた最高のマニア物件[Noise Patterns]。その名の如く今回は1ビットノイズのみで生成された至極ミニマル且つクールな6つのノイズパターンを収録。全体が黒で統一された仕様になっており、前作同様にスキップボタン、音量ダイヤルも付いています。入手可能な内に是非(音の出力部はステレオミニジャック)。







A companion release to Tristan Perich's circuit album Noise Patterns, Pseudorandom is a massive, unabridged 1024-page printout of the 16,777,215 numbers that comprise one complete cycle of the 3-byte random number generator from its code. Originally released as a circuitboard that plays its music through a headphone jack, Noise Patterns employs randomness at the core of its sound synthesis. However, true randomness is beyond the limitations of any deterministic computer algorithm. Because a digital computer’s memory is intrinsically finite, any attempt towards randomness will eventually exhaust every possible memory value (in this case, all permutations of the 24 binary bits that make up a 3-byte number). When those values are used up, the cycle must repeat. What results is termed “pseudorandom” — an approximation of randomness, and an illustration of the vast but fundamentally limited nature of computation.
