Glitch Music



Glitch is an electronic musical form in which imperfections, digital distortion and general matrix-style glitchyness are used to replace instruments to make up the beat or the rhythm of the music. The resulting sound is slightly awkward but when done well can create beautiful interestingly crafted tracks. Although the art form has been around for a while, in the last few years there have been some notably great albums dropping. Probably the leader of the new wave of Glitch or Glitch-Hop would have to be edIT from the Glitch Mob, His albums Crying Over pros for no Reason and Certified Air Raid Material are both landmark albums in the genre. But glitch is not just a musical form it has also become popular as an art form. It works by using 'interference' which breaks up the image, kind of like when your TV freezes, or your printer inks start running out, or you are stuck on a page which is half loaded. Sometimes its those unique beautiful imperfections in life that make things so perfect.
