The Experimental/Unclassifiable/Weird shit thread Genre • Page 2

you and I honestly need to have a real conversation about music sometime. experimental music for sure but you’ve gotta breadth of knowledge that I just really admire. I could glean so much from you

 

Not that it matters that much but at times I don’t really know where the line is between this thread and the ambient thread. We’ve definitely had Patrick Shiroishi in there. Maybe we can consolidate, or at least try to make this thread more focused on non-ambient experimental shit. Again, not that it matters much but just a suggestion.

 

Let's do that! We definitely seem to have similar tastes.

And really I just spend enough time poking around on Bandcamp that I get a bunch of stuff recommended for me there at this point lol.

 

Agreed. There's definitely a lot of crossover and the scope of what I jump to consider "ambient" is probably much smaller than what it really is.

I post a ton in a metal and hardcore threads and there's a lot of grey area there as well, so I usually try to make a judgement call on who I expect the audience would be rather than the actual black and white sound of it. As in, yeah this is more hardcore than it is metal, but the aesthetic, approach, etc. leads me to think this is hardcore for metalheads rather than hardcore dudes.

Anyway, I'm just rambling because I haven't had enough coffee yet.

 

Not that things can’t live in both threads too, of course. Crossover is good and sometimes worth a post in multiple threads. “Experimental” is very much an umbrella descriptor anyway and can apply to really any genre, but here we especially get a lot of experimental posted in the ambient and underground dance music threads. It’s a tough call where certain things land, but I think we can always do multiple posts and/or use this as a place to focus on specifically anything that resists categorization. Which is what we’re doing anyway haha, but I guess we just be more intentional about it.

 

Dutch/Polish improv. A little Don Caballero in there every now and then.

 

also posted this in the hip-hop thread

experimental pop/“alt r&b” sprinkled with a lot of other sounds. beautiful, avant-garde yet weirdly accessible. like Jeremih, How to Dress Well, Tierra Whack, and clipping. all thrown in a blender. once you feel like you've got a grip on the vibe, the next song switches into something entirely unexpected. I love this album.

 

More improv, but twice the chaos

 

That sounds dope.

i spent today listening to death’s dynamic shroud and it feels like my brain has been rewired

riyl ambient vaporwave, glitchy hyperpop, breakbeat

 

Dumb but I love it

 

This one's shaping up to be a pretty wild experience

 

new oren ambarchi and co. seems like a good fit for this thread

 

have we shared Fire-Toolz here yet? shit is easily the most gonzo weird stuff I listen to. she calls it post avant-jazzcore (a mix of vaporwave, jazz, prog, synthwave, black metal, ambient, and more). hard to choose one album as a fav - they're all wild af - but the artist herself has a youtube playlist of her own fav tracks

 

Lol they strike again. Tbh I love their dishwasher album

 

it’s so good

 

@williek311

 

New Uboa album ratings is going crazy on RYM. For fans of death industrial, dark ambient, harsh noise, etc. Out on The Flenser

 

say less

 

yeah this is great

 

uboa rules i didnt realize she had a newe one!

i guess this is the closest thing we have to a noise thread haha

 

there’s a noise rock thread but I think you might be right

 

Hella excited to listen to this. Fire-Toolz can do no wrong
