[microsound] guitar distortion as the 1st glitch aesthetic?

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello all my microsound friends

it occurred to me that overdriven guitar amps, and their eventual
(inevitably?) incorporation into the rock aesthetic is one of the
greatest examples of 'glitch' (or as cascone calls it, 'the aesthetics
of failure') at and early point, prior to digital technology. i'm
looking for the definite papers to cite or a paper i'm writing on
'glitch music.' (actually a master's)  any ideas? believe it or not,
it's not something that's been heavily investigated, especially in its
relationship to 'post-digital' music... i think it starts here, at sense
of a technology 'broken' or malfunctioning use with sheer intent of
generating a sound that was never intended... the basis of rock music, i
think (especially if one wants to differentiate between 'rock' and rock
n' roll.' i know the brief history adn process involved, but i'm looking
for the details and actually events in which music became 'overdriven'?

thanks so much

graham

p.s. i'll post a copy once it's done!
