Re: (313) digital glitches are the new tape hiss

[David Powers]

Okay, look - I'm 30, I grew up in the 1980's.  I never owned an ANALOG 
synth.  A studio full of analog equipment isn't part of my life.  What 
is a huge part of my life is digital technology.  I've been surrounded 
by digital my whole life - beginning with my Texas Instruments 99-4A 
computer, Atari, and Yamaha DX100 and Casio CZ101.  And now, every day 
when I'm at work, I am on a computer. 

Digital glitch, weird DSP, all the micro-shiz, is very relevant to me, 
because they speak to the digital experience, and they highlight the 
inherent dissonance in reality, the imperfection.  Yeah, I'm on the 
microsound list too, haha.

I find it strange that people can like the imperfections of analog, but 
at the same time fail to appreciate the "glitch" aesthetic which 
exploits the imperfections of digital.  Well, thank god they made a tape 
hiss VST...   ;)
