is an experimental electronic music genre that embraces digital errors, distortions, and malfunctions as creative tools. Emerging in the late 1990s, it features fragmented beats, skipping CDs, software crashes, and static textures to craft unpredictable, abstract soundscapes. Influenced by minimalism and IDM, artists like Oval, Alva Noto, and Fennesz helped define glitch’s aesthetic—transforming technological flaws into expressive, avant-garde sonic art.
