I for sure never thought that I would see the name Carlo Gesualdo
mentioned on the idml. Very good analysis also. I especially like that
in your breakdown "glitch" isn't relegated into the category of
"computer music". It illustrates that glitch really is just "the
valorization of art objects that display/perform their own breakdown."
Would Cage be glitch then also (when he's not performing organica), his
prepared piano was essentially a series of intentional mistakes, that
was used to "seek out and prioritize moments of technological failure."
Will there ever again be a musical form that is truly new?
