What could that be in there? Though the description is vague, imagine a self-contained, possibly interactive, consumer-oriented music generating device!

I reckon it must be some kind of ROM.

* battery
* two piezos
* switch
* jack
* volume control?

Interesting idea though!

The title "One Bit Music" should probably be taken literally. The site has a video (of a dance performance), and the soundtrack sounds like it could be performed on a device with stereo 1-bit outputs. All of the sounds are either pulse waves (on/off, with controllable duty cycle), or noise burst, which can be generated as pulse waves with a randomly varying duty cycle. It sounds like there might be some volume variation, which would imply more bit depth than what is needed to produce on/off, but this could be a result of filtering inherent in the system.
