  • ALBUM REVIEW: Tristan Perich, "Parallels" from 'Compositions' (Physical Editions) - Performed by Meehan/Perkins Duo

Perich's maiden installment, Parallels, was recorded at Octaven Studios and Shirk Studios, and is scored for tuned triangles, hi-hats and his patent 1-bit (albeit 4-channels) electronics--both commissioned and expertly performed here by Meehan/Perkins Duo.
