György Ligeti - Edition (Collection)

hello again! just checking up, hiya! :)

just fyi, edition 7 does not feature the song below (continuum), i believe it is in 5, but the entire collection is totally worth finding. 

btw, edition 8 is la grand macabre, ligeti's insane opera about the events leading up to the apocalypse, and the inevitability of death. it features a car horn opening, a door bell solo, a debate between two political parties (black and white) which consists of only direct insults and immature gestures, and a hilarious piece in which a man dressed as the moon (he's the king/mayor) receives coded messages from the head of the secret service. did i mention almost the entire play is a serial 12-tone composition (perfectly atonal, mathematically speaking). find a recording of it if you can!

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times

thought this would make for a nice early-halloween post... seriously, don't listen to this album if you aren't ready to sell your soul to satan in exchange for listening to one of the craziest avant-death-metal groups that ever existed. enjoy >:D

p.s. take a look at the lyrics for some of the songs on this album for extra wtf-ness... here is the below song's lyrics.

The Book Of Knots - Traineater

Mains de Givre - Esther Marie

very cinematic, droning, dramatic, awesome *-*

The Residents - Gingerbread Man

concept album by the residents with some really great (and really bizarre) lyrics. this originally had some sort of computer program to go along with the album with freaky avant-garde graphics flying all over the place, but i find that the album is great even without it. "everything was okay before mtv" :)

Leo Ornstein - Piano Music

something special for you tonight!

a pioneer in experimental composition, leo ornstein used tone clusters, large masses of contiguous notes well known from the wide use of classical great henry cowell, to their widest extent. his pieces can range from the peaceful serenity of classical sonatas to brutal and technically demanding pieces with titles like "suicide on an airplane". very worth the listen, the discord is stupendous!

 

Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus

pure sonic art. everyone on earth should listen to the entirety of this album, at least once.

Art Bears - The World As It Is Today

crap, almost forgot to post today :o

but, here i am. today, i've got some discordant art-rock/avant-garde with lots of politics and screaming (wee?). anyways, enjoy :p
