Glitch music is a genre that intentionally incorporates sounds from digital errors, like static, skipping, or crashing, to create a textured, experimental soundscape. It treats these 'mistakes' as artistic elements, transforming technological flaws into musical features. The genre often involves manipulating digital files, hardware, or software to evoke a sense of unpredictability and beauty in imperfections. By embracing glitches, artists challenge traditional notions of clean, polished music, resulting in innovative compositions that highlight the aesthetics of digital decay and accidental sounds.
