Audio Astronaut 21 - Glitch in the System (chiptunes with guitar, Atari, Pocket Operator, and more)

There's a glitch in my system... and I love it!

In this episode, I explore how to get glitchy, synthy electronic and chiptune sounds using a variety of tools: Pocket Operator PO-20 Arcade; Synthcart for Atari 2600; iZotope Stutter Edit 2; a circuit-bent Casio SK-5; and a variety of guitar pedals and effects, including RaingerFX Bleep, Spaceman Sputnik III, Boss SY-1, and Hologram Microcosm.

Finally, I show the production process of putting many of these tools together to do a glitched-out cover of Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.
