I was so shocked by the amount of bullsh... material that is about feminists' "restricted" rights. Oh my god, really??? Women, what's wrong with you? To cut a long story short, here is my Plunderphonic composition about this theme. 

I am new to this kind of "music" and, to be honest, without this task, I would never do something like that. BUT!!! I really enjoyed making it and, because of this experience, I have learned a lot of new techniques, which, I am sure, will be employed in my further compositions.  

Thank you :)

PS: and yes, please, don't take it too seriously. It is just my wierd, Russian sense of humour.

Glitch became an independent genre of electronic music that employs electronic musical instruments and technology. There was no glitch in the classical or romantic eras because it is impossible to make glitch using acoustic instruments. This also supports an idea that glitch music can be only conceivable in a world where music has become partly or wholly mechanised. Similarly, glitch genre’s popularity was increasing with the digital technology development. It’s popularity started to increase from the mid-1990s with such artists like BT, Alva Noto and Taylor Deupree.

Glitch is a result of a technical problem that was either unintentionally or intentionally produced by a dysfunction of digital artifacts such as software programs, CD skipping, hardware noise, digital or analog distortion and else. Any kind of electronic data can be used. For example, the album by Matmos «L.A.S.I.K.» consists primarily of samples of medical procedures, including plastic surgery, liposuctions and else.

Initially, glitch music appeared as a result of critique for digital idealization, suggesting that the technology is not perfect and it is indeed prone to errors."The digital revolution is over" Nicholas Negroponte (1998), «Perfection offers no incentive for improvement" Colson Whitehead (1999). Glitch music also suggests that sometimes such digital dysfunction can result in the positive outcomes

There is a number of programs that can help to create glitch sounds but I decided to experiment with different distortion settings in order to create glitches. The glitch aesthetic is a contrast to what I prefer to do so it was hard for me to find a balance between the distorted sound of glitches and the acoustic, clean and spacy music that I usually produce. Overall, I think that I managed to stay true to myself but to still meet the brief. Several artists, however, showed me that it is possible to mix a distorted, clipped samples with a musical and even instrumental sounds (for example, 12 Fennesz - «The Stone of Impermanence» and Vrioon: a debut collaboration album between Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto). Nevertheless, it is crucial for any musician, to be able to go out of their comfort zone because it may lead to the great results. For example, I investigated that glitch can create a nice contrast between the distortion and the acoustic sound of the voice, making it to appear even more sparkle.
