1-bit symphony

simply genius! Love it..

Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally "performs" its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. 1-Bit Symphony is available from Cantaloupe Music.

This is just calling out for an arts project. Re: technology defining everything. I
would love to mess with this. Is there a similar iphone app? Could be quite creative.
