Glitch music and art

So, glitch! While glitch is supposed to be rather annoying, as it is "a short-lived fault in a system", there is so called glitch music and glitch art, which is why I created this thread. Some of you may already be familiar with glitch music (Noriko Tujiko, AOKI Takamasa and more Japanese artists, but also some artists like Fennesz, Alva Noto, Muslimgauze (not everything) and some of Aphex Twin's works), so feel free to discuss that here. I also wanted to draw attention to glitch art, which I find just incredibly intriguing. There's various forms; I personally prefer the one where images get distorted (rather than random glitch generators etc.). Some examples:









Recommended listening:

Noriko Tujiko - Shojo Toshi
AOKI Takamasa - Silicom 2
Fennesz - Venice
Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - Vrioon
Oval - Wohntohn
