Insane sound design glitches interject beautifully composed piano and synth layers, weaving together into some sort of enormous mechanism. Rhythms coalesce and fall apart, melodies float between seemingly infinite states, everything reshaping itself as we go deeper and deeper into the imagined world. Everything from the cohesive sonic palette, to the flow of each song and phrase, to the journey of the whole album has been considered in incredible detail. If this is Amaranth Toddâs early work in hyperglitch, I think we should all be excited for (and afraid of) whatâs to come. Amaranthâs sound design, oscillations between obscured and clear pulse, dynamic forms, and mosaic layers are exactly what I imagine when I think of hyperglitch, and is exactly the type of music Philippe Macnab-Seguin and I have been working on outlining in our forthcoming paper about Hyperglitch and Aural Sonology. All the while, Amaranthâs many years of musical experience bring new and exciting ideas to the style. The Body is a Prison launches my imagination into a world where we could have whole event line ups and labels of hyperglitch, and many communities and resources for new artists that are interested in learning the techniques, all helping to establish the edges of the genre while simultaneously expanding it. ~woulg cover by @4nt1r34l #detund #detroitunderground #hyperglitch #woulg #amaranth_todd #antireal #sounddesign #glitchmusic #idm #glitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CjUAa-yJ41Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
