Glitch Music

This paper addresses issues related to glitch music a genre linked to the aesthetics of error that emerged in the 1990s. It is divided into two points: in the first the research starts with initial definitions of glitch and glitch music seeking to outline the general context in which the genre developed. We also raise conceptual questions about error seeking to point out the use of error as an aesthetic in music. In the second we show three different approaches to glitch in three different composers: Yasunao Tone Oval and Alva Noto. Finally the work seeks to open up new discussions about what the glitch music genre is and what it encompasses.
