Glitchcore.
 

???

Regarded as a subset of IDM or Intelligent Dance Music, Glitchcore deals with the more arcane sounds that artists could now utilise with the advent of home computers and easily aquired sampling equipment. Add to this the music community's love of adding a '-core' suffix (Hardcore, Emocore, Slowcore, Snorecore) and a new (sub)genre is born. Contrary to popular belief however, good examples Glitchcore are not Aphex Twin and the like; the music, while being bizarre, is missing some key elements which make up Glitchcore. In layman's terms, Glitchcore is music that sounds like it's fucking up.

Who was the first glitchcore artist?

Sandy Denny

Or Picasso

What are Oval like porky? Or did you just pick one randomly?

I've only heard Pole 1, but that is brilliant.

The thought of Pole with vocals seems a bit wierd though.

Thom Yorke? :o Hehe...

Erm..........

What in godsname is glitchcore?

You never heard of it?We are so far ahead round here.It was a genre of music that surfaced mid to late 90s.It's so outdated now when what's in vogue is singing punk tunes into each other's ear.

upload some glitchcore music.

What's that called then?

whispercore.

The most polite genre of music in history.

Ouhh... nice...

I had some whispercore latecomer come up and sing into my ear without asking the other day. The scene's already getting polluted with people who don't know the ettiquette.

Fakers!

He had a nice voice though.

You bet you are.

Check out the might of Moblin (some downloads at that site).

Nope,i picked them because it was gonna be between them and pole but i've first discovered Oval's music so i chose them.Treated cds music for wanting of a better term.

Thanks, the Moblin downloads are good...

Stop Press!!!
A whispercore singer found dead near a Bingo Hall in Stretham with a needle in his arm.Whispercore fans the world over gather everywhere to pay homage.

I wonder what the next 'core' will be.

Skifflecore.

Thanks.

Glitch isn't new enough to be 'in' and it certainly isn't old enough to be vintage. Boring.

I haven't really enjoyed much of this type of music.
Not my style.
Gave it a shot.

Oval... but I don't know the others, apart from Pole, which i've never listened to properly... Oval is great, though.

only 7 votes?

8 but the board is mainly made of americans so..............

cantankerous hadn't voted when i said that. bloody americans (except cantankerous).

Oh but she's a rock chick aint she?

oval, pan sonic, disastronaut (is only ok) are worth checking out. its electronic music to play to people who like handbag techno. its the white metal of the dancefloor. its minimiklist but not in a silent way. its noisy but not in a loud way. its basically electronic music made by electricity and sounding like electricity. broken programs, scratched compact discs, faulty wiring, static shocks, its a genre worth investigating big time.

Is the Raster-Noton stuff Glitchcore? I'm not getting hung up on labels, I've just never heard any of the bands listed and I'm trying to get an idea of what they sound like.

Pan-sonic I've heard though. They're pretty good. Is that typical?

scissor shock, essential glitchcore.

Anyway, my superglitchcore band is www.myspace.com/syrfdraken

Definitely check out oval.. autechre uses elements of glitch.. but the best cut-up fucked-up crazy IDM glitch etc thing is eight frozen modules..

electro pookie

Pole isn't really glitchcore, but worth checking out.
Go for Venetian Snares's album Winter in the Belly of a Snake
Then buy everything Autechre have done post 1997 (but all their stuff is classic)

Winter in the Belly of a Snake isn't really glitchcore to me, it's drill n bass... with some glitchiness, sure.

Anyway, I posted a HUGE list on a thread along time ago for syrfox, with like 50 artists. Seek it out. For my money, late period Autechre is the best around.
