Free Windows Music Software: Synthgeek has introduced a free glitch music plugin for Windows, sg-glitchgate.

Description:

SG-Glitchgate is basically a rhythmic gate, but not set up in the standard way. There are two periodic gates which can be used for anything from regular rhythmic chopping to random rhythmic manipulations and strange dropouts.

The gates are followed by a delay unit designed to enhance the glitchiness- it does not sync to tempo, and the delay time and gain can be randomized. There are 5 LFOs to add to the fun.

Several presets are included to give you an idea of how things work.

If you give SG-Glitchgate a try, leave a comment with your thoughts!

Supercollider 140 is a free album of Twitter music – audio pieces composed of Twitter-sized snippets of SuperCollider code.

It started as a curious project, when live coding enthusiast and Toplap member Dan Stowell started tweeting tiny snippets of musical code using SuperCollider. Pleasantly surprised by the reaction, and “not wanting this stuff to vanish into the ether” he has recently collated the best pieces into a special download for The Wire’s online readership here.

Many of these pieces are actually generative, so if you re-run the source code (the track titles) you get a new piece of music.

The compositions are self-referentially named, with titles like:

{LocalOut.ar(a=CombN.ar(BPF.ar(LocalIn.ar(2)
*7.5+Saw.ar([32,33],0.2),2**LFNoise0.kr(4/3,4)*
300,0.1).distort,2,2,40));a}.play//#supercollider

Tweet that and put it in your SuperCollider!

You can preview the album below, or download it at the Internet Archive:

Detailed artist biographies for the composers are available at The Wire.

Oh Land’s Heavy Eyes (official video).

Second single from Oh Land’s debut album Fauna.

This video looks at glitch sound design using Ableton Live.

via oubliettezombie:

In this video I outline a simple, iterative process for creating lots of tiny glitch sounds using just about any audio source material.

The devices used are the Redux, Reverb, Frequency Shifter, Simple Delay, Gate, and Grain Delay. Additionally, I cover creative resampling of your glitches for later slicing and rearranging via the Random MIDI device.

Enjoy!

Bruno Levy took thousands of photographs in Patan, Nepal over the course of a week using flashlights and long exposures.

After getting the nod from Modeselektor and BPtich Control, he created a stop-motion narrative synched to Deboutonner.

how to set up live glitch effects for live DJ or performance, or for production.

Richard Devine is one of the early users of Native Instruments new The Finger, a $79 keyboard-controlled performance effects processor developed with electronic music artist Tim Exile of Warp Records.

He created this glitchtronica freakout, and has this to say about The Finger:

Here is a little experiment I tried using Tim Exile’s new Finger Plug-in with Logic 9.

I was running some of my drums on a track in Logic’s Flex mode, slightly drawing in graphic tempo changes, and automating all the parameter twist knobs drastically, while programming every MIDI parameter I could assign on the piano roll editor, Doing more then my two hands could do=) Just letting it all go crazy.

Some strange interesting results indeed. =)

Unintentional Glitch Program i made when trying to make a graintable synth. i then elaborated on it and added a couple things to it to make some glitch action.

A bunch of people travel to the moon and toss a rave, and then bend space time.

Some Cinema 4D Mograph animations were mixed up in AE with some sound expression driven maskings. Time and space flicker together to the beat!

This amazing glitchtronica is a promo for OFFF 2009.

OFFF is an international festival for “the post digital creation culture.”

Says trash_audio’s Justin McGrath: “This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen! And I mean it! (For now) I want this to be a feature length film. I have no idea what it would be about, but I don’t care, it’s that awesome.”

It’s that awesome.
