Weirdest music you have ever heard?

For me it's easily SunnO))). That's seriously some fecked up shit.

Pretty interesting though.

Mice From Mars are pretty odd. Also Atari Teenage Riot.

That's nothing. You want to hear weird? Try listening to some throat singing.

John Cage 4' 33"

Here's an extract from the wikipedia entry of this piece:

Quote:

The audience saw him sit at the piano, and lift the lid of the piano. Some time later, without having played any notes, he closed the lid. A while after that, again having played nothing, he lifted the lid. And after a period of time, he closed the lid again and rose from the piano. The piece had passed without a note being played, in fact without Tudor or anyone else on stage having made any deliberate sound, although he timed the lengths on a stopwatch while turning the pages of the score.

Mr. Bungle, John Zorn, and Ooioo have some weird stuff.

Spastic Ink has some odd stuff as well. Watch some of their videos here.

Listen to it. Is it weird? Yes. But wait, there's more...

Spoiler:
The woman singing was my 6th grade math teacher.

Nearly all Industrial/Noise, especially Japan-Noise like Merzbow, but also traditional stuff like SPK, Throbbing Gristle. Some of the things they make are really cool, but most of the time I just have no clue what the artists want to say us :-)

Oh, and Klaus Nomi was strange, too.

Speaking of John Zorn though, his label Tzadik has released some semi-weird stuff in the New Japan series.

It would probably be something like Peter Maxwell Davies' "Eight Songs for a Mad King." Or Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire." Really, if you're looking for weird, the avant garde branch of the classical world is probably the best place to find it.

I don't think Pierrot Lunaire is weird. Then again, it's probably an acquited taste. Frankly, I would have thought that the later Schoenberg's 12-tone serialism music are weirder.

While the advant garde branch may have a lot of weird music, I think it's the more experimentalistic branch that sounded weirder. Then again, we have no idea where advant garde and experimental music began, at least in the classical world.

Israfel · 08-24-2005, 11:55 PM

Well, honestly, I've never seen "experimental" differentiated from "avant garde." But I imagine that, strictly speaking, avant garde or experimental is more a method than a style, per se; that is, at the time, Beethoven's late string quartets or Gesualdo's motets would have been considered experimental.

Some time ago a friend of mine got a homeless people to do an entire recording made of coughs and spits. He also made remixes of it.
That's what you do when you have a recording studio and you're bored.

"Hava Nagila" performed with Bagpipes.
