Erm, John Cage?
Anyway, here's my $0.02:
We might benefit from separating glitch into a few interlocking
aspects: practice, aesthetic and interpretation.
Thus,
Practice: the use of technological failures and (sometimes)
unintentional mistakes for productive/creative purposes.
Aesthetic: the valorization of art objects that display/perform their
own breakdown.
Interpretation: an approach to art objects that seeks out and
prioritizes moments of technological failure.
With a multi-part definition like this, you can adapt it to fit a
wider range of styles as "glitch" in some way. For example, you
could argue that mannerist madrigal composer Carlo Gesualdo
(1561-1613) produced "glitch" in that his music pushed his modal/
tonal systems to the point of breakdown.
Can you tell I'm studying for my comprehensives?
