Glitch art is an art form that utilizes intentionally generated errors (glitches) in images, videos, and audio by destroying digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. Glitch art is interesting because it expresses unpredictable beauty. We are exploring the production methods and effects of glitch art, and this study explores a method for partially generating glitch sounds and creating glitch music based on this. Specifically, we first prepare music data in MIDI format and generate audio data for each tone using audio processing software, saving them as individual files. Next, we select the tone data and generate glitches using image processing software. Finally, by reconstructing the music data (including glitches) that has been broken down into tone units, we create glitch music in which glitch sounds are mixed only in specific tone data. We have previously researched glitch music, but we used a method that generated glitches in the entire music data, resulting in glitches throughout the entire music data and making it unbearable to listen to. In contrast, this study employs a method that decomposes musical data into tone units and generates glitches on a tone-by-tone basis, thus avoiding situations where glitch sounds are present throughout the entire musical data. This method limits the generation of glitch sounds to a partial range, making it a valuable technique for controlling glitches that may appear anywhere. Furthermore, by flexibly and progressively combining tone data containing such glitch sounds, it becomes possible to create glitch music in a multi-layered manner.
