Infinity Gradient is a one-hour composition in seven movements for pipe organ and 100 speakers in 1-bit audio. Recorded at London"s Royal Festival Hall, where organist James McVinnie was artist-in-residence in 2024, the speaker setup - four subwoofers, 24 mid-sized, and 72 small speakers - forms a striking visual and sonic counterpart to the hall"s monumental organ. Composed by Tristan Perich, the work merges the raw clarity of his 1-bit electronics with the ancient resonance of the pipe organ. Both instruments operate on a binary principle: sound or silence. This shared structure creates an emotional depth that transcends the technological framework. McVinnie, known for collaborations with artists like Philip Glass and Squarepusher, conceived the project after hearing Perich"s "Surface Image." The Royal Festival Hall organ - a visionary instrument from the 1950s with 7,866 pipes - provides the perfect stage for this unique sonic experiment.
