5 Artists Who Are Masters of Glitch Music

https://www.izotope.com/en/blog/music-production/5-artists-who-are-masters-of-glitch-music.html
One of the strange aspects of technology, whether analogue or digital, is its tendency to glitch. The ghost in the machines, as it were. With music software in particular, glitch and error have become desirable ingredients in sound design and musical composition.

Tools

Here are tools that all do weird and wonderful things. Go play with some and discover which ones you like best.

Could you imagine "performing" with any of these? Might some of these tools be a fun way to make a soundtrack for a film?

Or thinking about it another way, what sort of things could you use these tools for? Are they just experimental toys or are they actually useful?
