Playing around with an accidental glitch sound in a vlog by @pixiepost - can I make something musical and/or interesting with it?

It may have been accidental, it may have been unexpected, it may sound like noise to some people - but I say NO - I'm going to take that noisy glitch and see what I can do with it!

Credit for the souce glitch sound of course goes to Pixie's excellent video :
"The Productivity Myth"
Definitely check that one out!

And hats off to @pixiepost for being super real in her videos and leaving the glitch in. I've made her a 50% beneficiary on this post as it couldn't have happened without her!

I'm already working on part 2, trying to make some other useful sounds/instruments from the same glitch so watch this space!

The glitch sound is also the inspiration (and sound source) for the new "glitch mode" in my live radio shows. If you are in the Twitch channel you can simply type !glitch to activate glitch mode!

EDIT: Part 2 is now available - read/watch on for a whole ensemble of instruments based on the "Pixie Glitch": https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@tdctunes/hbmpeojc

Interesting glitch! The coolest sounds come from unexpected places.

Indeed - sound design is a vast world - sometimes I get heavy into it, other times I use only slightly tweaked presets - it's whatever a) inspires and b) fits the music I'm trying to create.

Hey - complete re-runs of my Twitch streams are available for 14 days after broadcast so you are in luck with the Stick Up Boys one!
Here it is:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1479523421

And then most week's I make at least one 'highlight' on Twitch, which stick around forever. Browse all sorts of electronic music creating mad sessions here:
https://www.twitch.tv/tdctunes/videos?filter=highlights&sort=time

If you subscribed you should get an email alert whenever I go live (if they are turned on for you in Twitch) - it's primarily Monday's at 9pm UK time.

Hope to see you at the next one!

Hey thanks so much for watching. You might be interested in part 2 that I've just posted - not one unique sound but a whole set of instruments all from that same sound!

Have a great day!

I remember hearing it during the live show but it looks like a decent amount of work to crop out the sound properly.

Ah yes I remember you from the Twitch channel in the live show - it wasn't super hard actually - the software makes it pretty easy! It was probably harder to do the setup of the BOT for the live show - my streaming setup is getting out of hand complicated!

Anyway check out part 2 that I've just posted.

And thanks so much for your support!

haha thanks it was a bit of a random idea and it turned out to be easier than expected to make something useful (check out part 2 which I've just posted!)
It just shows how crazy powerful modern DAWs are (though I still think I could do something only these lines on the modular too - though that's pretty powerful as well!)

Thanks for watching!
