how to make that weird, glitchy kind-of drum noise you hear a lot in IDM, glitch pop and indietronica?
The following songs have this kind of sound, its like a sound almost compressed into nothing but little liquid clicks. I think it might be analog drum machien sounds sped up into pure compressed clicking sounds. A handful of examples of the sort of thing I'm talking about
Max Tunda- Acorns and lysine
the postal service- nothing better
styrofoam- nothings lost (extensively used across the album)
its almost staticy, but not abrasive in the slightest. any ideas?

A brief preview of a generative track created in VCV Rack
A fully generative piece created in VCV. I’m no expert, but I enjoy experimenting and I plan to release an EP or an album in this style. Any feedback is welcome. Screenshot of the patch in the comments
I didn't like the album on Spotify. Let's give it another try on Vinyl 🎻
Not technically IDM, but you know...
