Crickets [disquiet0349 - gotglitch] by Belly Full Of Stars

Created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0349: Got Glitch?
@disquiet

The project: Help define “glitch” by glitching something, and explaining what you did.

*No crickets were harmed - or even used - in the making of this music*

A duet between an accidentally glitched piano track, and purposefully glitched CD drive.

The piano track was originally recorded in an attempt at a previous Junto challenge (0221: Morning Music). A processor-hungry reverb plugin overtaxed my computer, and the resulting glitched track was made.

The CD drive duet track is a recent recording of my computer trying to read a cracked and blistered CD. I placed an EM pickup on the outside of the drive to record the glitched attempts. Some liberties (read: edits) were taken to make the part a slightly more 'musical' accompaniment. The 'crickets' are an artifact in the EM recording, that I highlighted with a bit of filtered delay.
