Open Symmetry is a 50-minute composition by composer Tristan Perich for 3 vibraphones and 20-channel 1-bit electronics performed by the dynamic French group, ensemble 0.

Tristan Perich’s music spans the electronic/classical divide and Open Symmetry pares the ensemble down to just 3 musicians playing the resonant metal bars of 3 vibraphones with a glistening ensemble of 20 speakers, each playing their own separate musical part of the composition. 1-bit sound is Perich’s core musical language, creating an aural and conceptual consistency across his major works, each composition an experiment in sonic color, shape, and form.

As the piece progresses and becomes more complex, the layers of 1-bit electronic sound and percussion become less distinctive, getting lost in a beautiful accumulative effect. Experience a musical evening with seven mesmerizing sections, where shimmering harmonies, polyrhythms, and cascading sound clouds evolve into ecstatic climaxes.
