- Description: The Kyber Chronicles was the debut album released by the glizband known as Glitch. Produced by
Matsu Ike
and distributed on Corellia Digital's music label, the album was assembled as a musical anthology whose pieces were mixed for seamless audio transition of one song play to the next. There were seven songs in total, with an addition two being included at the end that were variants of the album's songs. These included an acoustic remix and a slowed/reverb version.
- Author: Glitch
- Publisher: Corellia Digital
- Reception: As with most music groups, Glitch had a mixed reception. Supported by its fans, reviled by its detractors, Glitch was both praised for innovation in remixing music that was often either overlooked or deemed obscure, while others viewed it as derivative and talentless for the same. Those who had discovered the Nautolan's talents as part of Underground Revival, a rock band, often complained that the youngling had forgotten where he'd come from and betrayed the UR fans by adopting a sound that was more gliz and wreckpunk. Others continued to view the boy as one of the best bass guitarists of the current generation.
- Some considered Glitch to be a form of religious music. As the artist was a Force Sensitive born in the Alliance, he had been raised as a Jedi. For that reason, Glitch was sometimes labeled as Jedi Alternative Rock, particularly by critics of the Jedi as an institution. Glitch music was typically banned in Sith territories for the same reason.
The Kyber Chronicles was packaged for play on diverse platforms and included both audio recordings as well as hologram recordings of the music videos (if available) or official visualizers for those songs which didn't have an official music video produced for it. Music videos and visualizers were created and released by Holoflix, with the album's single "Jedi Nights" being released on HikHok through Glitch's official channel there.

The Kyber Chronicles was the debut album for the Nautolan DJ and musical artist known as Glitch.
Produced by
Matsu Ike
and released on the Corellia Digital Music label, the album was packaged for both holoprojector and audio play, with standard audio recordings as the default playback method. If a supported holoprojector was detected, then the accompanying music videos or visualizer was displayed along with the song. Music videos were done at Holoflix Studios on Drall and Selonia, while the visualizers were composed at Corellia Digital's offices on Denon. The Kyber Chronicles was available widely through the HoloNet, with distribution of the music and videos handled by Holoflix and Corellia Digital Music.Jedi Nights was released as the album's teaser and single, dropping on Glitch's official HikHok account ahead of the album release. The album included two songs related to Glitch's participation in Holoflix's animated production, Darkwire Duck, and included both a remix of the opening theme (Cr4$h!) as well as the original ending theme for the series (d0e5_any1_w33p?). In the case of the latter, the piece was itself a remix of the Clone Wars era song Does Anyone Weep?
The Kyber Chronicles got airtime on several worlds in the Galactic Alliance, appearing on the Galactic Top 40,000 on Atrisia, Coruscant, and his homeworld of Commenor.
