Morgan 3000 represents a pivotal exploration into glitch aesthetics and found sound composition, emerging from an investigation of software malfunction as creative material. This experimental music video synthesizes accidental audio artifacts generated through Adobe Premiere Pro interface manipulation with samples from documentary narration, creating a meditation on temporality, technology, and human agency within digital systems.
The compositional process centered on capturing and arranging glitch sounds produced by resizing windows within Premiere Pro—a software behavior that generated unintended audio artifacts in 2015. These digital accidents became the foundational material for a sonic landscape that interrogates the relationship between user intent and technological response, transforming system errors into deliberate aesthetic choices.
The work gained institutional recognition when a visiting artist and producer from Adult Swim's Off the Air program identified its alignment with the network's commitment to experimental and glitch-based animation. This connection resulted in the piece's inclusion in the late-night variety showcase, marking my first television broadcast and positioning the work within a broader cultural context of surreal, boundary-pushing media.
The narrative foundation draws from documentary narration exploring themes of temporal consciousness and human potential, specifically addressing humanity's relationship with time structures and the possibilities inherent in technological advancement. These philosophical elements, delivered through distinctive vocal presence, create a conceptual framework that elevates the glitch material beyond pure abstraction into existential inquiry.
This broadcast moment on Adult Swim represented more than personal achievement—it constituted an entry into a lineage of experimental media that challenges conventional animation and narrative structures. The inclusion within this curated context validated the aesthetic and conceptual potential of glitch-based work while establishing a foundation for continued exploration of error as creative material.
