Depends on where you draw the line between radical and glitch but some of Alva Noto's and Ryoji Ikeda's works are really good if you're into that type of thing.

Computer music has a long history and I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "radical/extreme", as a lot of early computer music could well be defined that way due to it being unique for the time. There's also the fact that a lot of new material is somehow digitally generated, recorded or produced. The computer is just as standard an instrument as anything else now.

I've always liked Barry Truax. Main deep, slow moving drone pieces digitally generated by early computer systems, occasionally complimented by acoustic instruments or voice. The tone poem "The Blind Man" has an eerie, moving quality about it.

Listening to some of this I asume you are looking for a more computer/music program
based music. The stuff I heard sounds more like its a combination of IDM/dance music and glitch?

Are things like this you are looking for? please let me know, your description is a little vague to me

Not 100% sure what you are asking for exactly, but these are some of my recommendations:
Pomassl
CM Von Hausswolff
Karl O'Connor
Dajuin Yao
Government Bookshops
Jaap Vink
Jos Kunst
Boguslaw Schaffer
Alva Noto
Ilpo Väisänen
John Wiese
Bernard Permegiani
Alvin Curran
Ryoji Ikeda
Roger Semsroth and some of his Sleeparchive stuff.

The Latest Russell Haswell dbl cd "Value & Bonus" are the best work he has done.

Jaakko V.

Robin Fox - A Handful of Automation (LP, Editions Mego 2010)

One of the better pure computer music records I've heard. Extremely complex and intriguing material that snaps, crackles and pops like no other. Much recommended...

My first thought was Ryoji Ikeda as a couple of others have said already; would love to visit one of his installations.

Last weekend i played all my Raster Noton vinyl.. like it a lot but most is not very radical or extreme

THE RITA HN

Russell Haswell's 'Second Live Salvage' is a masterpiece.

I'm going out on a limb and say no as that is more about playing the amen break really really fast. He did mention Mark Fell though so maybe he does include glitch and glitch house like loud Mille Plateux stuff or something?


I'm starting to remember more now.

Gert-Jan Prins

Gerritt Wittmer or "Gerritt"

Zbigniew Karkowski of course

John Wall

Haswell is the great. Hecker, Lescaleet, Rainey, Mattin are other players.

This newer Gabor Lazar / Haswell split is incredible

And an old favorite. For Peter Sutton and Karl O'Connor, definitely the Tresor album

Trente Oiseaux is another great label. Bernhard Gunter is very fantastic. I'd say it's more of a micro sound but he and Richard Chartier often work with extreme bandwidths.
