Glitch garden by emho

With Glitch Garden, EMHO opens the hidden door behind Waves, Pines and Stones — not a sequel, not a remix, but a living ecosystem grown from the material that never made the original record.

The album is built entirely from unused loops and fragments captured during those sessions, transforming sonic leftovers into a world of their own. Every sound originates from foraged matter: wood, bark, stones, leaves, water, metal scraps — objects gathered outdoors and played by hand into a looper.
Nothing synthesized, nothing sampled from libraries. Just touch, resonance, and repetition.

The unused recordings were then routed through ppooll, sculpted live and printed directly to stereo. No overdubs. No editing. No corrections.
Each piece exists as a single performance — one take, one moment, preserved.

Where Waves, Pines and Stones listened to landscapes, Glitch Garden listens to what happens when landscapes begin to remember themselves. Rhythms fracture like branches snapping under pressure, harmonics bloom like moss across circuitry, and glitches feel less digital than biological — errors behaving like growth.

A performance that cannot be replicated because it was never constructed.

Currently working and living in the South West of France, Emmanuel Hourquet, aka EMHO, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is grounded in visual storytelling, raw & processed sonic textures, technology and imperfections.
