IDM, Glitch

Oh noes! IDM is not an acronym for a super secret government agency, disease or drugs!  Or, maybe it is one or another kind of brian drug; just like playing cards, games, reading and listening music are brain drugs too! IDM is the acronym for Intelligent Dance Music; in short, the new rage curring up samples, repeats, distortions and glitches in the music. A style emerged in the early nineties which was described as electro, electronica and ambient techno. It gets you not only moving by your feet but also with your brain!

Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Leftfield, Aphex Twin and many more are known for their creations with glitches and sample-juggling to add colour to their productions. It makes music sound much more and detailed than it actually is.

Software VST plugins are currently the rage, a few examples:

• Free Sequencer: Glitch Sequencer
• Free plug-ins: dBlue Glitch for PC, Glitched for Apple, Livecut and Supatrigga for PC and Apple.
• Audio Damage Replicant & DestroyFX plugins like Scrubby, Skidder, Transverb and others.
• For Reaktor users: Toxonic
• For Ableton Live: Major Malfunction
• Abandoned: Papergoose, Glitch Jockey

CD-skipping glitches could be done by using a magic marker on a CD, recording that defected ceedee. IDM glitches can best be done manually, by searching the best possible sweet-spots for the wanted IDM effect.

I’ve not found any good “true” hardware IDM device yet, with exception of the out-of-production Frostwave Sonic Alienator, Geiger Counter, the SP-555 with loop sampling functions and the MachineDrum which is quite expensive but also a super-sequencer.

Lyrics Troyboy (revision 4)

If you wanna know,
you want to think right back,
Just to remember a name,
It would be something like that…

I’ll for sure remember that kindness,
Famous for that pure hospitality,
teached a lot the history of music,
The life of now … All that slick! *’ya know?*

known for them cocktails,
wanted for his music,
So desired for business,
His eternal smile was his success!

*Uhu .. Yea .. Hell Yeah…. Troy … *

Troyboy, Not just a name like any others,
Cared about his friends and all around that bothers,
Had a dog almost as big as he was, go wonders…

I’ll miss those cute drinks, not even with parasols,
That smile, all that jazz, Left with just a memory,
A shame, that blazing fast gone and away from reality …
That guy … Troyboy!
