Once upon a time my screen-capture application did not work well with my sound card. This was fixed in a later release. 
In the meantime it's state of "not working well" could be referred to as a stable glitch. I could play anything through my sound card (it was especially funky when I played something from a hardware device through the inputs) and it would record - probably just decode - something completely different than one could expect. 
I thought this was exciting, as the first sound I recorded was brilliant to work with, and therefore I decided to play with a lot of material to get different results - electronic music, classical, Bob Marley, beats etc...

Ultimately, after having recorded for many, many hours and listening through a lot of it, I found that the glitch on the overall material was more or less the same. Therefore I decided to go by intuition, to go by what had made me happy about it in the first place, which was the true glitch my computer made, and not the one I purposefully recreated. 

This track is also as a video on youtube, which I'd recommend over audio-only.

Glitch My Computer Made

As the title states, it is a girl speaking about a boy, who's all about not just 'a' girl, but what he feels like is 'the' girl. There's also a male voice present (that's me!)
There's a certain rationale in myself not being the female narrator, so I wish to thank Betina Nydal for taking up the part which I (in short) described to her as that of a 'female voice-actress'.

Lyrics:


There was this girl.

And of course there was a boy too.

And this boy felt something that he did not recognize when he saw her, and thought "who is that beautiful woman?" 
And before he knew it, she asked him "who are you?". 
It was such an instantaneous contact for him; an emotional communion, and he felt like he loved her, but he doubted so hard, that she'd feel it back; he never dared to tell.
He could'nt be honest with her, as that would require him to express his deepest emotions.

And before long, he decided to carry this secret as a burden.
Cause this girl made him nervous. 
He choked on his words, said stupid things and now knew, what they meant, when they spoke of butterflies.

No matter in which way she'd love him back, or even if she didn't like him at all, 
he knew that she'd be something for him, and that he'd be something for her. 

If nothing else. Unknowingly her guardian. 
A protector. In the instance of her distress in his presence.

He considered this his part. 
And when he despised himself for it, he'd think of books he had read, where the male character would do his duty, in the name of something great, or for someone he cared for, and did this, even though he wasn't loved back or rewarded.
Because a man must do, what he has to do.
Only because he is a man.

And as always, it was the eyes that attracted.
Through them, he saw so, so much that he could barely bear it.

He desperately wanted her to fall as madly in love with him, as he was with her, 
but he always held his composure, and tried to keep a straight face.
Despite that, he always felt like she saw straight through him.

Then one day, he realized. 
Maybe he didn't need to feel like this.
He could just head straight for it, and try to forget her through acceptance.
And then maybe, some day, with time, he could forget her entirely, but never forget his part, and love something or someone else for himself.

There is this girl.
And of course there is a boy too.
And when they meet, she will love him for who he is.
And she knows, that she will be something for him, and that he will be something for her.
And when she sees him, she will know.
She will see so, so much in him, that she will barely be able to bear it.

She will want him, to fall madly in love with her, as she is with him.
Though he might just try to hold his composure, and keep a straight face.

Despite that, she will see straight through him.
And he will realize, that what she feels, is as real as his deepest emotions.

This he will not be able to disregard, or even avoid to embrace.
One day he will realize: 
Time might pass as fast as it gets you stuck in the first place.

Anyone up for naming a genre? Glitch-tech?

Sure we can cut here

Brief composition, hence no repetition



I recorded two takes and used the left/right arrows to change the BPM briefly on each take so that they would be slightly different for postprocessing. I mainly used one take for Mid processing and another for side processing. After that, I added a bit of delay for each channel - around 20+ ms for each side. Just a little bit of feedback. The signal wasn't very wet.
During the mastering proces I used multiband compression to limit those resonating peaks, a bit of emulated analog EQ, M/S mixing for stereo spreading. Also I made use of reverb, as I find that the monomachine in particular needs it!
