Glitch is often produced on computers using modern digital production Software to splice together small "cuts" ( Samples ) of music from already recorded songs, with Beats made out of erroneously produced short clicks and bits of noise as well as skipping CDs. The genre is thus named after the use of digital artifacts and noise-like distortions (see " Glitch "). These glitches are often very short, and are typically used in place of traditional percussion or instruments. However, not all artists of the genre are working with erroneously produced sounds or even using digital sounds. Popular Software for creating glitch includes Reaktor , Super Collider , Ableton Live , GleetchLAB , MAX/MSP , Miller Smith Puckette's Pure Data , and ChucK . In the Hardware realm, glitch music is generated through Circuit Bending . HISTORY Though Glitch developed in the 1990s, there were earlier precedents. Glitch is influenced by Musique Concrète , Techno Music , Industrial Music and Ambient Music . Active since the 1970s, turntablist Christian Marclay occasionally scratches or otherwise damages Vinyl Record s to make music from the resulting skips and loops. The fluxus artist Yasunao Tone used damaged CDs in his ''Techno Eden'' performance in 1985 . The first proper glitch album is arguably Oval 's '' Wohnton '' ( 1993 ). Trumpeter Jon Hassell 's 1994 album '' Dressing For Pleasure '' — a dense mesh of Funk y Trip Hop and Jazz — features several songs with the sound of skipping CDs layered into the mix.
