Although music is an art of it's own, it's different than sound art. Most music follows certain patterns developed over a long time, while sound artists like to experiment. Instead of getting all nuanced, I've distinguished two groups of audio work: music-based work and text-based work.

The genre of glitch art I like to do is known as databending sonification. This means I take an ordinary image, open it up in a digital audio workstation like Audacity, and then I apply audio effects. Some of my favorite effects are echo, high pass filter, and reverb. Afterwards, the audio is converted back to an image where the effects can be seen. In 2015, I started a project named Misprints that involved reinterpreting entire books to audio. As a part of this project, I broadcasted the audio of an entire book when opened in Audacity. The following is documentation of every episode:
