GLITCH - FAILURE IS CORRECT
Glitch links

The new electronic currents are marked by technology,
therefore the musician's creative attitude is dictated
by the influence of their tools more than any other
moment in history. Electronic music is supposed to
spin around electronic technology as well as most of
the experimental electronic music from the 80's and
90's was focused to the exploration of new creative
and production tools -such us sampler and different
kinds of synthesis. The new computer tools let the
musician work in an environment where information is
the star.

In the world of clear signals, perfect transmission,
fibre optics communication and digital radio
broadcasting, the aesthetic forms that imperfect
transmission manifests are grossly under-appreciated.
That is, to all but a few talented individuals who
actively embrace glitches and seek to bring them to
life in new and aesthetically pleasing ways.

Glitch Aesthetics: In the depths of techno fetishism
and communication arts.

A brief description of the theme:

In everyday communication it seems we are all seeking
perfect transmission.
As millions of bits are pushed from one location to
the other, countless error checking protocols exist to
eliminate the possibility of imperfect transmission or
reception. The breakdown of communication within any
form of communication structure or device, creates
artifacts. Capturing and appreciating these artifacts
is now considered to have become the domain of glitch
art.

The Aesthetics of Failure:
'Post-Digital' Tendencies in Contemporary Computer
Music

Over the past decade, the Internet has helped spawn a
new movement in digital music. It is not academically
based, and for the most part the composers involved
are
self-taught.[http://www.mediamatic.net/cwolk/view/8470]

Prick up your ears

Can a CD full of silence or the noise of a ticking
clock really be as rewarding as a Beethoven symphony?

So check out swen's blog then head here for a students
view on glitch or a he puts it "...the "wrong" use of
musical technology in the production of music, and the
semiotics of "wrong" sounds."
