These cuts are then integrated with the signature of glitch music: beats made up of glitches, clicks, scratches, and otherwise "erroneously" produced or sounding noise. These glitches are often very short, and are typically used in place of traditional percussion or instrumentation. Other noise-like distortions figure prominently into the creation of glitch; it is from the use of these digital artifacts that the genre derives its name. I like to think of it as organised and controlled subversive audio chaos. Al-pha-x
