all of those meet the criteria of being production techniques that
utilize the asthetic of unintintional results in a musical way, so i
guess that's our working definition.
part of the reason that i asked the question is because "glitch" really
is very difficult to define. you've given a good illustration for
"glitch"s evolution. that's pretty cool. but with that, you've kinda
negated your first sentence.
and it seems the use of that technique is so pervasaive now in
idm/ebm/blablabla, i'd almost call it a style, even though the
fundaments could come from any of the previous linear progressions of
music (genre). and with that, "glitch' could be genrefied as hiphop,
ambient, soul, etc. etc. so i kinda understand why you think that
evaluating musical styles as a linear process would be depreciated. but
then again, if i played a slick rick track, then an edIT track, you
would know the difference right away, yet still see the (linear?)
progression.

well - we got to find the next next big thing then, 'cause prefuse73 has
the '70's soul LP in a blender' thing on lock. ;)
