Glitch (music) - Glitch (music) Glitch (also known as clicks and cuts) is a genre of electronic music that became popular in the late 1990s with the increasing use of digital signal processing, particularly on computers. Glitch is influenced by musique concrete, techno, industrial and ambient music, is usually extremely minimal and rhythmic and is sometimes considered a sub-genre of IDM. (The term "clicks n cuts" comes from a representative compilation series by the German record label Mille Plateaux called Clicks and Cuts.) Glitch is often produced on computers using modern digital production software to splice together small cuts of music from published songs, with beats made out of short clicks and bits of noise. The genre is thus named after the use of digital artifacts and noise-like distortions,.
Intelligent dance music - Intelligent dance music IDM, short for intelligent dance music is an electronic music genre which began as a style of techno in the early 1990s. As compared to the driving, pounding, sound of techno aimed at the dancefloor, IDM aims for the head, being a bit slower, more melodic, less aggressive, and more artistic, quirky and improvisational. It is sometimes informally called intelligent techno, listening techno or art techno.

Glitch - Glitch A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations. In electronics, a glitch is an electrical pulse of short duration that is usually the result of a fault or design error, particularly in a digital circuit. For example, many electronic components such as flip-flops are triggered by a pulse that must not be shorter than a specified minimum duration, otherwise the component may malfunction. A pulse shorter than the specified minimum is called a glitch. A related concept is the runt pulse, a pulse whose amplitude is smaller than the minimum level specified for correct operation, and a spike, a short pulse.

Vladislav Delay - performed as Luomo, Sistol, Uusitalo and Conoco. He been involved in ambient music, glitch and techno genres. His method of track production involves a mixture of looping, sample weaving, and live reprocessing. Many tracks have an organic feeling that pervades through rolling dubby basslines, hypersliced vocal snippets. Anima, released in 2001 and is an hour long mixture of harmony, dissonance and layers of clicks and pops. Some have compared it to a creation of a work was in which Delay overdubbed himself fumbling around cleaning the studio..
Gescom - Gescom Gescom are an electronic music project working in the IDM style based in England. They are closely linked to Autechre, although the exact nature or membership of the project is a matter for some debate. Autechre themselves describe Gescom as an umbrella project involving 20 or 30 people. The Gescom EP credits Sean Booth and Rob Brown (Autechre), Daryl Fitton (Bola), Rob Hall (skam records), and Daniel 72; but most of their releases are anonymous. Stylistically they are more danceable and less abstract than Autechre - aside from a few conceptual remixes (and the minidisc, see below). Notable releases are Keynell, Iss:sa, and the Only 3 minidisc. The latter is the first ever minidisc only release, and was designed to take advantage of the format's zero seek time.
Coil (band) - is a group that has worked in several electronic music styles including: industrial, noise, ambient and experimental musics and which intentionally tries to stay away from any particular genre of music. The band was formed by John Balance (sometimes credited as Jhon Balance) and Peter Christopherson out of the demise of Psychic TV, an earlier industrial band. Coil can only be described as a very eccentric group, sometimes producing only as many as 99 copies of an album, allowing only those who are truly dedicated to the band to seek them out, due to the high prices (caused by high demand). Some critics have accused Coil and its record company of price gouging. As of 2003, Coil has been re-releasing many rare works, mostly remixed, into general circulation. Coil also has.
Postdigital - relationships with digital technologies and art forms. I first encountered this term in Kim Cascone's article 'The Aeshetics of Failure: "Post-digital" Tendencies in Contemporary Computer Music'. Cascone begins his article with a quotation from MIT Media Lab cyberpundit Nicholas Negroponte: 'The digital revolution is over.' Cascone goes on to describe what he sees as a 'post-digital' line of flight in the music also commonly known as glitch or microsound music, observing that 'with electronic commerce now a natural part of the business fabric of the Western world and Hollywood cranking out digital fluff by the gigabyte, the medium of digital technology holds less fascination for composers in and of itself.' In other words, digital tools have become so ubiquitous as to be taken for granted by today's composers and producers; what.
Nico (album) - Soul One, John Sinclair, All That I Need, Glitch, Life Ain't so Shitty, Swallowed, Pull, St. Andrews Hall, Letters From a Porcupine COMMENTS: The album was released after lead singer Shannon Hoons death in 1995. It features unreleased versions of previous songs ('No Rain' and 'St Andrews Hall') cover versions ('The Pusher' (Steppenwolf) and 'John Sinclair' (John Lennon)) as well as 'unfinished' and 'rare' recordings of the band and Shannon alone. Listening to the album is a treasure for all fans as it confirms the wealth of talent and barely surfaced miracle of a band who really work together in harmony. From the incredible hillbilly harmonica and slide guitar riffs on the track 'Hell' that make the 'Duelling Banjos' scene in Deliverance sound as pure as 'The Sound of Music' to.
Noto - of the Tellaro (Helorus) (E Pais, Atakia, Pisa, 1891, p. 75 seq.) stands a stone column about 35 feet in height, which is believed to be a memorial of the surrender of Nicias. This is uncertain; but, in any case, in the 3rd century BC a tomb was excavated in the rectangular area which surrounds it, destroying apparently a pre-existing tomb. The later burial belongs to the necropolis of the small town of Heloron, 750 yards to the southeast, some remains of which have been discovered. It was a small advanced post of Syracuse, belonging probably to the 6th century BC. This entry was originally from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. Noto, sometimes Alva Noto, also is the pseudonym of the German artist Carsten Nicolai, who is very active as a musician.
Key (music) - Key (music) In Music theory, the key is the tonal center of a piece. It is designated by a note name (the tonic), such as C, and can be either in major or minor mode. Other modes are also possible, for example: dorian, phrygian, lydian, but most popular music uses either the major (Ionian) and minor (aeolian) modes. 18th and 19th century music also tends to focus on these modes. The major mode has half-steps between scale steps 3 and 4 and 7 and 8. The natural minor mode has half-steps between 2 and 3 and 5 and 6. What a key designates to a performer is the scale in which all the diatonic notes of the piece lie. This is slightly more complicated in a minor.
Kurdish music - Kurdish music The Kurds live in an area sometimes called Kurdistan, including parts of Iraq, Armenia, Syria, Turkey and Iran. The people have long been oppressed by a string of governments, and their literature and poetry suppressed. Memorized music has thus arisen as the primary means of communicating cultural traditions. Traditionally, there are three types of Kurdish performers -- storytellers (chirokbej), minstrels (stranbej) and bards (dengbej). Many songs are epic in nature, recounting the tales of Kurdish heroes like Saladin. Love songs, dance music, wedding and other celebratory songs, erotic poetry and work songs are also popular. Musical instruments include the bloor (flute), ghol (drum), duduk (oboe), tenbur (saz), kamanche (spike fiddle) and zurna (wooden shawm). The most frequently used song form is divided into two verses.
Kazoo - was manufactured to Vest's specifications by Thaddeus von Clegg, a German clockmaker in Macon. The kazoo was first publicized at the Georgia State Fair in 1852. The first metal kazoos were manufactured and patented in Eden, New York, where they are still made in the original factory. A temporary kazoo can be made by combining comb and tissue paper or wax paper. The kazoo is played professionally in jug bands and comedy music, and by amateurs everywhere. It is one of the few acoustic instruments to be developed in the United States and one of the easiest melodic instruments to play well, requiring only the ability to hum in tune. In the Original Dixieland Jass Band 1921 recording of "Crazy Blues", what the casual listener might mistake for a trombone solo.
