“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.”

“To what extent does background music have a positive role to play helping businesses enjoy the most of the sales season? Research published on http://www.musicworksforyou.com shows that 84% of shoppers say they like shops that play in-store music and, of that percentage, 23% claim they would be prepared to pay 5% more for goods if music was being played.”

“The Seeburg 1000 background music system was introduced in 1963 in which to provide background music or “elevator music” as we know it today for shoppers in stores, or factory workers etc. These units played a special record designed by seeburg 2″ diameter center hole 16-2/3 RPM disk. The machine was designed to provide continuous play of up to 25 disks, 20 songs per side, hence the name “1000″. At the end of the last record, the changer would lift the stack upto the top of the changer spindle for another round of playing.”
