Glitch Music
Glitch music is a genre that embraces the aesthetic of errors and imperfections in sound. It often incorporates digital artifacts, such as skips, distortions, and static, which are typically considered unwanted in traditional music. Artists manipulate these sounds to create unique compositions, challenging conventional notions of beauty in music.
The genre emerged in the late 20th century, influenced by electronic music and experimental art. Pioneers like Oval and Autechre explored the potential of technology to produce unexpected auditory experiences. Glitch music invites listeners to appreciate the beauty found in chaos and the unexpected, redefining the boundaries of musical expression.
