Nasty noises, 2008: p. 5-6 (glitch music, an electoacoustic sub-genre; electoacoustic music constructed from sonorities signifiying error, especially sounds produced by malfunctioning devices, or corrupted files) p. 23 (Glitches are source from audio devices, e.g. a puposely defaced, skipping, or fast-forwarded CD, the back-tracking lead in groove of a vinyl record, and many difficult-to-identify electronic hiccups. Glitch can also derive from any sampled sound, sliced into fragements, filtered with software like Buzz, and redistributed as gesture or percussive accent) p. 24 (Another term used for glitch music is microsound, but there is a subtle difference: microsound tends to be a product of the university-based and research-oriented composer) Wikipedia, Oct. 30, 2008 (Glitch is a term used to describe a genre of experimental electronic music that emerged in the mid to late 1990s; Glitch is characterized by a preoccupation with the sonic artifacts that can result from malfunctioning digital technology, such as those produced by bugs, crashes, system errors, hardware noise, CD skipping, and digital distortion; scratched vinyl records, circuit bending, and other noise-like distortions figure prominently into the creation of rhythm and feeling in glitch) |
