This is a very personal mix for me, glitch music was the first form of electronic music I discovered, it was very much the gateway for me to get into nearly everything that I listen to today.  Oval’s Diskont 94 record was the first electronic record I ever bought, so I decided to create a mix of 90s glitch music beginning with my favorite track off that record.

Artwork by Almir Mavignier, Quadrado Convexo, 1956.

L'arte Dei Rumori

Originally conceived on September 12, 2003, this mix is one I have been revisiting and tinkering with for 15 years and it's finally ready for the world at large.  I originally performed it live on WRVU 91.1 in Nashville and recorded it on a shitty CD-R which eventually started skipping too much to salvage.  Here I've attempted to re-create it from memory, editing and improving as I see fit.
