|
| Sonar swish, comb teeth and little scheeeew noises. Has a slightly
|
| aquatic, tense and clinical sound. Make a good Doom atmosphere loop but
|
| like a lot of his stuff, it sounds more functional than heartful.

|
| Very Stockhausen like granular synthesis. Inharmonic, birdlike. It smells
|
| of a conservatorium and little else.
|
|
|
| Stilluppstreypa
|
| Wailing devil horns, very very high, very very low tones and a filmic
|
| pulsing drone. Strong and suprising..
|
|
|
| Sony Mao
|
| Again, granular synthesis but with a looping rhythmic base that makes it
|
| far more effective than most.
|

|
| Ambarchi-Fennesz-Pimmon-Rehberg
|
| Heavy fog, snatches of music, radio, echoes, guitar strings being
|
| tortured. Warm, emotive. This is where the music is headed.
|
|
|
| Dean Roberts
|
| Little bells and bleeps. Echo overloads, distant drone. Guitar feedback.
|
| Intricate and involving.
|
|
|
| Terre Thaemlitz
|
| Sounds very much like a ring modulated loop of a guitar with clippity
|
| clop noises. Not unpleasant, even a bit cowboy. Apart from the digital
|
| overload farts perhaps added to make it 'glitch'.
|
|
|
| Akira Rabelais
|
| (Now there's a cute moniker).
|
| High pitch shifted shortwave radio. OK. but no banana.
|
|
|
| Christophe Charles
|
| Windchimes slowed down with other animal noises. It's an emotive sound
|
| for me, but maybe because Eno did it in the early 70's
|
|
|
| Albrecht Kunze
|
| A hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm with backwards gleeps. It's good because it's extra
|
| milky.
|
|
|
| Full Swing
|
| Backwards stuff with clicks. Yeah, so what.
|
|
|
| Achim Wollscheid
|
| A megamix of all the above.
|
|
|
| It seems to me that, glitch in itself is stillborn. The little clicks and
|
| surface noise are the tartan bondage pants of the punk era, or the pink
|
| leg warmers of the 80's - simply a signpost of the current era. What is
|
| worthy is the same emotive and melodic elements that underpin all music.
|
| Here, it's been cut and sliced to make it alien and reveal new aspects. I
|
| can't help but think of a sexual partner trying on a bit of rubber fetish
|
| to spice up a long term relationship - it's tittlation of a jaded
|
| audience that has heard too many songs. Recently I've bought a CD on
|
| Noton (why bother with names, the current fashion is to be mysterious so
|
| fuck 'em) that's getting pretty funky with the pops and crackles, and a
|
| CD based around Jerusalem that borrows a lot of traditional music to make
|
| the soundscape.... the best practitioners know it's time to move and
|
| leave Mille Plateaux in a nostalgic realm, where 50Hx hum through a
|
| square wave is 'before everybody sold out'.
