Janire Goikoetxea [ES] – The sounds of Glitchcore
Video sharing platforms are popularizing and enhancing glitchcore aesthetics, appropriating sound distorting techniques used in genres that range from Houston’s Chopped and Screwed to Russian Drift Phonk. Due to the nature of TikTok’s remix system, the degeneration of micro music tracks gives rise to both natural and sought-after glitches that have acquired their own narrative within the application. Along with analog error emulating filters and short format comedy, warped remixes of viral songs are used for further memetic expression, giving glitch aesthetics a crucial role in mainstream media.
The lecture will give a vision of how the sounds of glitch music have rapidly found their way into a worldwide community that is inadvertently passing on the historical traces of glitch art.
