how do you make glitch in realtime?

[waiting man]

i just think when making an off-the-cuff sarcastic comment it might just as well be a good one and not like the one above. damnit, i want quality irony here on kvr.

here...

do not use your lappie on stage!!! my god, nothing is as boring...

alternatively, play your prepaired loops and samples on a multitrack recorder through a kaoss pad 3, a good filter, one of the moog pedals, and the new boss loop pedal.

You can make glitchy stuff with just about anything, if you bash it long enough.
I made some glitch sound with the deckadance beta. I loaded up a song, had it loop, smacked on the pattern based stutter thing, and then just added some effects on top of that.
Add an amen break with dblue glitch over it and you got instant breakcore.

I think this is part of the reason I don't like much breakcore...

@OP - if you want a fair level of control, I'd recommend using EnergyXT or something else that gives you MIDI arpeggiators so you can set up and trigger cascades and patterns of glitches and effects fairly easily while keeping as live as possible.

How to make glitch/electro:

Take promo photo of self (band members optional) standing in front of a [garage/stairway/industrial building] holding a [serious/deadly serious] pose, [looking in the distance/looking at the ground/wearing sunglasses], wearing [smart casual/casual/smart/no] clothes.

This comment makes little sense....shouldn't you have said "How to set up a promo photo?" There was nothing mentioned about creating sound for glitch/electro. Last time I checked, this was KVR Audio, not KVR-Photo.

Record to tape -> obtain scissors -> apply scissors liberally to tape -> scatter bits of tape in the air -> gather up bits of tape and stick back together in random order -> play.
























Gotta say...it's been done before though.

sooo what are/were the more popular techniques of making glitch outside of software? rewind a decade.. how'd they make glitch/idm back then?

my guess is a sampler with an autoloop feature for starters.. but thats just a guess

Glitch more or less began with damaging CDs to make them skip. It's moved more or less into Max/MSP, databending, etc.

Oddly, there still seems to be a divide between circuit bending and glitch -- as if the people working with the aethereal mathematical purity of corrupt buffers have a philosophical disagreement with people who would be so coarse and vulgar as to touch the innards of a Speak'n'Spell. Or something like that. I'm really not sure why this is, but I can't picture most "glitch" artists per se doing things live in a physical way, just sitting behind laptops stroking their goatees.

(I can say that because I have a goatee, and I don't perform live... and so far I've only used a few samples of half-assed-bent devices rather than trying to make them performance objects.)

Oh god! Very soon, there'll be Old Skool Circuitbending, and Retro 2Step Bouncyhouse GlitchCoreMetaloTarnce.

any ideas how i can perform/improvise this kind of music rather than having to automate it all?

people are gonna (are already) throw gear reccommendations left, right and center, but I'm going to recommend practising/learning live performace technique - particuarly rhythmic skills - cos you specified "live".

Listen to some jazz - much glitch is recycled jazz technique wrapped in wacky production - and also nonwestern percussion-based music (Indonesion Gamelan in particular - pretend the plinky plinkies are zzst bikk crrr cr ccr cccr ccccr bzzt's and you're there.)

yes. with bidule it's pretty easy. just add some lfos that control pitch etc.

Just to be sure, reading the recommendations- are we talking Glitch, or Breakcore/Drill'n'Bass?

Get some CDs ... scratch 'em up real bad so they skip, then sample/record the results. But ... it still gets down to sampling and sequencing the right sounds, and putting them in the right order, just like any other electronic music. If you can't make original, un-contrived music with the tools we have today, like Glitch, Splonki, Cyclotron, Motile etc, then you'll struggle with any technique. It's not really about technique in the end anyway ... it's about talent.
You've either got it or you aint ...

[rhythmsickness]

have you tried gleetchlab2? by tobor experiment, thats a pretty interesting live tool for glitch type things.

This guy uses Reaktor to do pretty much what you're asking for:

Its a very cool clip, shows what can be done if you're really serious about it.

again, if you want 'live' glitch stuff id be going with modular software - reaktor ^ or my favourite, vaz modular - all you need it a decent control suface and some programming knowledge
