Glitch_v2

GlitchyImprov

    full    excerpt

I used a balanced, eighth-inch audio cable and my mixer to record sounds the cable made when plugging, unplugging, and scraping it. I've come up with two pieces using only sounds derived from these samples. Glitch_v2 is a recent 12-minute dance version using Ableton Live, and GlitchyImprov is the original version, using Logic. Both are unedited, improvised works.
