I'm not an expert of Deleuze, but only an interested reader. I think
that the Deleuze's concept of rhizome is what influenced more the cyber
culture/community and electronic music. I think you know that mille
plateaux records and sub rosa records are the most influenced labels and
maybe you could try to find on their websites why they're so
*Deleuzian*. 

I don't think Deleuze has influenced particularly glitch music. I'm not
expert in the story of glitch music but I think that first digital
musicians (Bernard Gunth. and Oval [1993-94]) followed an evolution in
their way to compoose/use the digital medium exploring its limits (i.e.
glitches), even if this was a phenomenum that happened before in art
rather than in music, just think about the first digital artists. But
the roots are maybe to be found in people like Nam June Paik with his
experiments on the television (though "glitch" is a word used in digital
electronic and not in analog)... anyway, as usual, I'm going "out of
theme...

readings:
in a bibliography I have about Gilles Deleuse, I've found these articles
about music (of course I think it's not about *glitches* but maybe
they're interesting):
-"Sur la musique" in *Nomadas Land*, 2, 1997, pp. 5-20
-"Vincennes Seminar Session, May 3, 1977: On Music" in *Discourse* 20,
3, 1998, pp. 205-218

maybe in a good University Library you'll be able to find them
