Hah, I understand the glitch name, very clever and effective trick. Still an enjoyable composition on its own for sure, especially the latter half where the subtle and a bit dissonant melody appears.

Wonderfully performed and beautiful! Fantastic composition, Rob!!

Yes, these glitches can always occur. Nice work here, Robert

Highly entertaining and interesting piece of music. love the composition and the superb performance.

plz continue creating the atmosphere of this wonderful muisc

Exotic and realistic , great reverb , GJ!

The harp is so nice, the constant strum really adds movement to this. It's a good base for the more intricate parts to launch off of.

Harp is a great part of music you rarely hear, and this writer and player came through.  The expression and articulation and unique playing style were really something else.  Expression and articulation have to do with the writer also of course.

Nice composition featuring the delicacy of the harp

Celestial composition and performance. I love harp and it's a great production. I like these different atmospheres.

PROGRAM NOTE
A ‘glitch’ may be defined as a sudden, usually temporary equipment malfunction or irregularity, and it also means to suffer from such a malfunction or irregularity. In Glitch, my primary goal was to create a fun, highly rhythmic piece with lots of twists and turns, using a few extended techniques to emulate glitches in the musical tapestry. Each glitch interrupts the current section a couple times, triggering the next section. Glitch was commissioned by Joseph Rebman.
