I think that's what makes glitch doesn't exclude 'computer generated music', but instead highlights a sub-group of it. "Glitch" has often been used interchangeably with "post-digital" (although I don't they they're perfectly equivalent), which suggests to me that glitch isn't just about technology, but about a particular attitude towards technology that at once glorifies it and ironizes it. In other words, glitch seems to be what happens when the "honeymoon" with technological perfection passes: rather than reject technology as "empty" or "false" perfection, glitch put the whole notion of audio perfection into question. back to making prickly pear sorbet, LMG On Sep 3, 2005, at 7:28 PM, pulse wrote:
