man! some really great stuff here, as always.

the Junto has become a really important part of my music practice. I always make an effort to listen in even when I can’t contribute.

Thank you @disquiet for organizing this remarkable group!

Hi!
Here is the awesome Bing’s speech, from Black Mirror S01E02 “Fifteen Million Merits”, performed by Daniel Kaluuya.

I glitched the voice, and then glitched the beat a little.

GlItch hope you’ll like it!

Mmmm, interesting …

A: Original track constructed from an early ‘70s public information record and a couple of instances of Native Instruments’ Absynth
B: Wrote a small Reaktor 6 ensemble to play back (A) with skips and discontinuities modulated by some slow-running LFOs. (ensemble available on request!)
C: Hand-glitched (B) using automation on the Logic Pro X bitcrusher plugin.

Parts A and B are also uploaded alongside this piece, although they are obviously not part of disquiet0374

When I saw this week’s assignment, I remembered that I had an old project labelled “glitch techno” lost somewhere on my harddrive. When I opened it, I found a 158 bpm project with a glitchy, bouncy drum loop I had created, along with a basic baseline, and some slow harmony and chords I had played on the Prophet 6. I’d not been able to get any farther with it then, but instantly realized this was the perfect starting point for Glitch, Glitch.

I’ve been practicing lately with Inear Display’s Eurydice vst and I’m also a big fan of Glitchmachine’s Hysteresis vst. My first step was to take my harmony line and create a few Eurydice patches (first glitch) and then feed the output of that into Hysteresis (second glitch). What I discovered is that both plugins often create a lot of “self-noise”, a glitchy, sometimes rhythmic white noise when no signal is being routed through them. This became a great source for embellishments and quirky little background noises, especially when coupled with Vengeance Sound’s Philta XL using a crazy LFO-driven filter envelope.

Really fun track! Love the samples you used and the progression of the track is really interesting.

Hi everyone. Here’s my output for the week.
I’ve been crazy busy on a work project, but we may have a snow day tomorrow, so I thought that was the perfect excuse to blow off work and do something fun. :slight_smile:

Yesterday I recorded a voice over for said work project with a person who had lots of mouth clicks when speaking. I’m always amazed at what a de-clicking plug-in can do, and love the “only play removed clicks” option as a cool novelty aside from its practical application.

So for this project, I took a minute long clip of just the clicks of the voice over. Then I layered 35 instances of this track on top of itself in random intervals. This is what you hear at the beginning of the track.

Next I took the mix down of those 35 tracks and layered that on top of itself another 35 times, but now constrained to short rhythmic intervals, which created a lovely noise track that ebbs and flows.

Next, I ran the result through a few different presets on Stutter Edit.

Lastly, I mixed everything together into one cohesive track that maybe resembles something akin to music.

But mostly I just loved creating something out of (almost) nothing. :slight_smile:

Thanks! This is only the second disquiet junto that I’ve done. Having a deadline is really great… I’ve played a lot of sessions, and I’m pretty efficient at that, but I tend to fiddle with my own music, often not finishing it.

Here’s mine! I recorded the simplest beat and some random notes after playing around with the Triple Oscillator settings in LMMS. First glitching (and a half) was done with DISTROH’s MaBitcrush, and The Infamous Hip2b. Second glitching was simply adding little loops in Mixxx. Does that qualify as glitch? It was fun exploring this process, including the glitching of a picture with Audacity :slight_smile:

Have a great week, everyone!

This used to be a rock song from a rehearsal recording of my band. But it was glitched hard using a couple of VSTs. Fracture, Valhalla FreqEcho, and Tal-Bitcrusher. Modulating the levels of each and the parameters using automation.

Somehow turned into ambient nightmare.

I took https://soundcloud.com/winterer/prison-of-rlyeh and glitched multiple instances of it in Gleetchlab 404: Glitch 1. I Took the result and saved it as MP3 with 16 kps stereo and 8 kbps joint, which sometimes destroyed the original very much: Glitch 2.

To have moments where the initial glitch remains evident and untarnished I layered and sliced these three tracks. So what you hear is a mix of WAV (good), 16kps (bad), 8kbps (very bad) in different variations, sometimes all three together, sometimes only one alone. Plus some VST fx to position the sounds in the inner space.

recorded playback of vlc glitching a recording i had made… chopped, processed and cut up the track in cubase… further altered levels and eq in soundforge… using a barely-functioning windows xp pc…

I’m quite behind on things these days, so my knowledge of the glitch genre is not current. It did make me reminisce about college radio in the 90s, which was nice, and inspired what I ended up doing (although it doesn’t end up sounding anything like that).

  1. Made a short loop out of a previous sketch on a beta version of Audio Damage’s Enso looper for ipad (it’s very good!).
  2. Put said loop in Ableton, made it a bit “glitchy” using Unfiltered Audio plug ins (Spec Ops, Zip), sample it.
  3. Clicked “random” on an Alexkid midi sequencer in ableton (instant haus) to play slices of the sample. Varied those slices by hand (I had a couple passes I liked better than this one, but oh well).

More The Field than glitch, but it was a fun prompt, thanks!

Here’s mine: https://soundcloud.com/plusch/doubly-glitched-disquiet0374

I started with a beat loop I created a few years ago – you can hear it twice through at the beginning, in its unglitched form. Then I made a pass with Sugar Bytes’ Turnado, using Bitwig’s Step modulator to move Turnado’s Dictator to different locations. Then that result was treated with Twisted Tools’ Rolodecks, with its own internal modulation. I made the modulation’s time scale different for Turnado and Rolodecks, hoping that might differentiate the two, but in the final result, I think there’s no audible difference. To finish up, I added compression from u-he’s Presswerk, and normalization and limiting in Audacity.

The drone starting at 0:28 is the product of two glitches combined: a hum on the Volca Keys and the infinite looping bug on the Volca Sample.

I started by making a recording of the notorious hum that is always running on my Volca Keys (a common issue with this synth). This hum is at about 20khz, so I used repeated instances of an octave lowering VST to get it down to an audible frequency. Then, I loaded that sample onto the Volca Sample and used the infinite looping glitch to run it as a constant drone, twice in parallel at two different speeds.

Applied stutter effect to recording, and then some granular synthesis on top of that. Mixed sections of each in with original recording of a live performance.

Very Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto-esque! Lovely!

I was going to do this Junto but then the track went in a different direction. Still, maybe you guys will find it interesting.
