What is the most bizarre and esoteric "music" that you unironically enjoy listening to?
Venetian Snares though I think this is hardly even scraping the bottom of the barrel
Not remotely bizarre by /mu/ standards, just normalfag, but I greatly enjoy Oneohtrix Point Never and Autechre.
>>72858113
Lots of ambient and drone shit, I guess. I love Earth 2, that has to be up there.
I also like Prurient's Frozen Niagara Falls and Gorguts' Obscura a lot.
Shit quality psychedelic rock demos from a guy with schizophrenia who used to be the drummer for a semi obscure punk band
>>72858113
bizarre and esoteric according to whom? normies?
>>72858188
Oh, sad to hear it's now entered normalfag territory, good picks though.
Not really too bizarre, but Jandek has been my favorite artist for like 4 or 5 years now
>>72858219
Who?
>>72858113
Merzbeat i guess
>>72858235
Stephen David Heitkotter
>>72858113
I like listening to harsh noise and noiserock that I have made myself
>>72858235
More bizarre answer would be Jerry Solomon, who's also actually kind of good once you get a taste for it. I also like To Live And Shave In LA ok. Five Starcle Men on the other hand, are a bit too shitty... but also really strange
>>72858205
Earth 2
good choice
>>72858219
that sounds kind of cool
is it possible to find online? artist name?
>>72858253
Nice dude, he's great. Didn't realize he was in a punk band though. The drumming on that album is GOAT in any case
cave recordings by the chris chan of hip hop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqdySP-i26k
>>72858297
Well, Garage Rock/Proto Punk would be more fitting
>>72858113
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M5nfcaEHO8
>>72858324
Word, that album is really unparalleled. Given that it's not much more obscure than TMR, I'm surprised it hasn't taken its spot as the token "what the fuck is this" release
>>72858113
Bastards of Fate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQRQC07vxYU
>>72858312
Other than some dissonance what's so weird about this? Not even a ton of dissonance.
>>72858219
Zach Hill?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr5KMtukvqI
Breakbeat Trance that's so lo fi is becomes noise at some points
Pre War Jazz & Blues
Sufi Trance music from Morocco
Chinese ritual industrial
>>72858113
Why?
Do you want to impress your friends on facebook with how quirky and weird you are?
just listened to this and was surprised. so bizarre and challenging even
>>72858360
It's probably due to the album cover not being as 'memeable' as TMR, and a lack of ridiculous lyricism
>>72858454
I actually wanted to find some music to listen to that's different from things I've heard in the past for the purpose of my own enjoyment
>>72858501
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ebe2WHMtVc
>>72858431
Oh come on, dude.
Symphonic Breakbeat (Not that venetian snares album, mind you)
Noisebeatgaze
>>72858113
Raw black metal limited to 10 cassette copies
I fucking hate this album now but this was my shit back when an old tripfriend introduced this to me. Not sure what I saw in it t b h
https://youtu.be/-gfsckOsjUs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5-Rqrkkpso
>>72858113
This shit right here is in my top 5. I know it's not really weird at all, but it's definitely the weirdest I cans say I truly enjoy fully, it's beautiful
I know mu doesnt like girls that much but I like this chick called grimes.
Early 90's Serbian nationalist propaganda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeAEdU4p5Cg
Goregrind, to the point where vocals don't even seem human.
>>72859312
this shit is normie meme tier with "Remove Kebab"
It's just as hypnotic and lyrically intriguing every listen as it was the first time.
https://youtu.be/_PmyDS7Z3XQ
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H-3wiU_xDZA
Idk its not really difficult
>>72858113
Not too bizarre, especially by /mu/ standards, but
>the residents
>coil
>sun city girls
>comus
>throbbing gristle
>this heat
Normies would cringe hard if I put any of this on, but it's all pretty commonly spoken about on /mu/, so I guess it really isn't bizarre. All the other shit I listen to is practically normie tier.
>>72859289
What's the name of that album? I allways see here on /mu/ but nobody ever tell the name.
Probably
>Orchid
>Pg. 99
>Yellow Swans
>Set Fire to Flames
>Natural Snow Buildings
I know this doesn't really fit that description well but it's the most "out there" music I listen to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8k3qB61lhk
Probably a toss up between Igorrr and Portal
>>72859397
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnyb1IOGDuM
Also this is pretty fun
>>72859421
Glenn Branca - The Ascension
it's at parts extremely dissonant and at parts incredibly harmonious, and transitions between those two seamlessly. Definitely worth a listen
>>72859403
Maybe you should just go to Hot Topic and walk up the guy in the Magma shirt
Psychic TV, probably.
>>72858113
I can pretty much listen to anything
>infrared converted into audio
>glaciers melting
>genome sequence core
except vulfpeck and reggaeton, that makes me physically ill and wanting to die
I un-ironically like noise jazz and harsh noise.
>>72859475
how the fuck do you write music like this
patton is truly bizzare but its savant level of performance
>>72858253
good taste
Radiohead desu
>>72858113
Not gonna lie, symphonies of the planets is pretty damn cozy to me despite the fact that it makes some people fall into anxiety attacks
Kreat rock
>>72858113
Webcams from foreign cities, preferably at night.
This isn't that obscure but it's pretty fucking bizarre
>>72859919
Am I the only one that thinks symphonies of the planets is gorgeous and humbling, especially in context of how it was recorded
>>72860054
Tell you actually know how it was made and not the shitty version everyone assumes ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXQr7jUt1BY
this
I usually end up in the "ascended" tier or whatever the fuck when I use those charts. I just like weird music I guess, I don't listen to it to seem cool or anything.
May be im not as cool as i think, though
>>72860224
me to senpai I think I may be suffering from a mental disorder sometimes
I even hide the obscure music I like
Premature Ejaculation
especially A Little Hard To Swallow, Attempts At 7 (For The Sick), Not The Real Criminal, and Necessary Discomforts
>>72860290
be proud of it you dumb nigger
>>72860305
forgot this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnXB8zZHZ-o
>>72860268
this is good but just kinda sounds like lo-fi indie rock
>>72858148
I saw Venetian Snares live at a festival and he was fucking incredible.
Me and my mate spoke to him a few hours after the set and it turns out he's actually quite a dick.
Never meet your musical idols, they WILL disappoint you in some way.
>>72860350
I met Richard D James
can confirm that all breakcore artists are absolute cunts
>>72858360
>Given that it's not much more obscure than TMR
it's much more obscure than TMR, you can tell at a glance by the length of their respective wikipedia article lengths
>>72860350
I met a couple of members of Foals before they were "big" in the U.S. and they were p cool
Didn't meet the frontman though, I bet he's a dick
>>72860379
>Richard D James
>Breakcore
>>72860290
>I think I may be suffering from a mental disorder sometimes
>oh no i like weird music I must be SO CRAZY AND INSANE AHHHHHHHH
fuck off dude
>>72860379
What happened?
>>72860697
King Missle is good shit. That song about what is and is not gay got me into them. Their self titled is my favorite of theirs.
Nanocyborg uberholocaust.
Lunar 2 is lovely.
>>72858113
Stochastic Music, New Complexity, Harsh Noise
Merzbow, although I haven't gone past Pulse Demon yet.
african tribal field recordings of rituals and celebrations
by far the most autistic thing i listen to
Natural Snow Buildings is about as obcure as I get.
The Winter Ray is just so fantastically comfy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig9m3Xduvn4
>>72858398
why do people always post their worst album
even the stuff after rowe left is better than this
>>72858113
I like drone
Can't really get into harsh noise or anything though.
>>72863431
>Natural Snow Buildings
dude you're the second person in this thread to say that
it's literally pretty guitar music
>>72863470
This is the one most ppl know
>>72863531
>it's literally pretty guitar music
Obviously never heard a full NSB album.
I've heard way more obscure shit, but I don't enoy it. It just falls into derivative or memey, boring bullshit like New Complexity after a certain point. NSB and its side projects are obscure and left fieldish enough to be hard to discover, while not being horrible bullshit that serves no purpose but to make the listener feel smug.
>>72863531
It's very droney I wouldn't really say that, sorta weird compared to a lot of stuff out there
>>72863651
>NSB and its side projects are obscure and left fieldish enough to be hard to discover,
>>72860350
Doesn't surprise me honestly. I like his music, but he doesn't really get to be that way especially when his fans donated so much to him when he asked for it.
Lowest I go is occasionally lowercase, but I like noise as well.
>>72863693
>What is perspective
Of course its not so obscure to a site packed with autists like here or rym
https://youtu.be/6G0QSLpqUQQ
how esoteric am I lads?
>>72860350
ye I've met vsnares too and he's a lot nicer when he's not coked up
>>72858113
I'm a pretty normal guy, so for me the post-rock stuff I listen to is already way too much for the people I hang with. I played them Lift Yr Skinny Fists when we were all high and me and a buddy pretended we were throwing/catching the game winning touchdown in the super bowl during the first big crescendo. I listen to swans and death grips and very much enjoy both and never speak of it to my friends. Compared to you guys I'm pretty pleb
who here /powerelectronics/?
Listen to a lot of performance art/sound art kind of stuff. John Duncan, Alvin Lucier, William Basinski. I listen to a ton of noise/noise rock. Gerogerigegege is pretty out there even though they're popular on /mu/
also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS5ZkPXkto0
>>72861338
UP MY ASS
>>72860383
It's not obscure on /mu/ though. It is much stranger than TMR, even for it's time.
>>72862166
Then you're barely a "Merzbow listener"
>>72863826
because youre a fucking normie get out ree
>>72864140
I've been on /mu/ for a long while now, everyone knows we don't do the normie ree thing. Talk about music please or leave
60's - 80's library music. I'm pretty picky about which types I enjoy though. Some of them I just cut/arrange/loop the parts that I like and then export the file. Been doing this since about 2002.
coil- black antlers
shit was incoherent af.
>>72859289
fuck, my man! I listened to that album about a year ago and I re-visit every so often, the ascension is so perfect, its like im actually going to heaven
>>72864531
It's the Proto-Seer. Great album and one of the best pieces to come out of No Wave.
>>72864568
You know, that Seer comparison is spot on. I'll probably recommend it to people now if they want to find some more swans related stuff
I unironically dig field recordings and Iannis Xenakis. My perception of music is busted.
>>72859421
That's because you don't know how to use image search.
good free jazz i guess
John Zorn, Wadada Leo Smith, Derek Bailey
check it out its good stuff
>>72863323
recommend some senpai
Boredoms - Super Roots 5 I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTM9dSlIepQ
But it shouldn't be that way. One of the greatest pure noise albums I've ever heard. It's ascendant, just the right amount of abrasiveness. Beautifully loud, fills your ears up. Love it to death.
>>72864702
same here. machine gun is about as far as I can go, unless you count ambient music like alva noto or jap punk like friction
>>72858113
I'm a super pleb, but i am starting to get death grips to click for me.
les rallizes denudes
nara leao, ik its not wierd, but its wierd for a white 20 something year old male to enjoy
mongolian throat singing is actually really melodic in a cool way and not super hard to enjoy but it gets a rap for being esoteric so okay here
>>72860350
I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
merzxiu i guess
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWU1vwkNiTM&
>>72865440
This along with Tibetan throat singing, probably more tame compared to other "out there" genres but its not something I'd play if I had the aux
harsh noise, onkyo, serialism and slam death metal
>Oidupaa Vladimir Ouin - Divine Music from a Jail
>Sun Ra
>African trance music
>NASA - Symphonies of the Planets
Not that crazy, but these I truly enjoy and most normies would find it weird (although a friend actually liked Oidupaa)
>this thread is flawed as true normies find Swans scary
I really enjoy absurd noise rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0I5WL019UU
absolute fucking bliss
>>72865440
this
also drone metal
i love this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYmXBw2tLmY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Ud37_n-hM
Very obscure but fantastic game OST
>>72864702
could you rec an album for each?
>>72866763
>>African trance music
Any specific artist you like?
Probably this, have no idea how I started listening to them but 27 views since 2015 is depressing
https://www.youtube.com/#/watch?v=-V4sQnRXWkQ
Natural Snow Buildings maybe, that and field recordings of shit.
>>72859719
could you post some infrared converted into audio anon?
i like musique concrete quite a lot but i think free improv is probably overall a bit more bizarre so i will say free improv
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfZeaiEn18o
>>72868330
It's a meme that started in an obscure genre thread, the closest is probably voyager NASA symphonies of the planets, one anon explained how it's made , it's not how you would thing it's made. I should have screencapped the explanation . It's in the archive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0k7lWeGo8
>>72858113
Ben Frost maybe
If your answer isn't psuedoscorpion u a pleb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt_ANNtlPlY
Phonemenomicon.
>>72858113
GOAT
>>72858113
Not particularly obscure by the standards of /mu/, but probably Death in June and a few other neo-folk acts with more or less explicit ties to nazism. In broader society Vaporwave and j-pop are also probably fairly unusual genres
>>72864702
>>72864825
free jazz is good but it sounds like you guys like shit free jazz
>>72858113
i really dig the 80s/90s pop sound, why the fuck this is so good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r0n9Dv6XnY
I like some harsh noise, a lot of drone and some onkyo as well.
>>72859338
Try gorenoise
That and dungeon noise are maybe the weirdest things I listen to
>>72865473
Are you sure that wasn't Mike Love
>>72866526
Slam isn't too weird other than jenovavirus aka the best shit ever
>>72868744
I like how this has just become the edgier version of Buyer's Market here. I've never actually heard the music of pseudoscorpion but I've heard it mentioned a ton
>>72858113
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FU2Ek-pIBo
this is an unironically good album
This is unironically my favourite album.
