Kemialliset Ystävät

Avant-Garde, Psych-Folk, Electronic freak out stuff from Finland... nice & childish/trippy and utilizing tons of instruments.

Nurse With Wound

Steven Stapleton aka NWW is the king of Drone/Industrial/Dark Soundscape/Creepiness... my biggest recommendation is to his Soliloquy for Lilith series... full of spacey, atmospheric drone worlds. This video acts a perfect introduction to his work, disturbed visions of bizarre worlds.

EYヨ

Tetsurō Yamatsuka, also known as Yamantaka Eye, Yamatsuka Eye, eYe etc... is hands down one of my favorite musicians, i've not heard a project by him that i haven't liked, starting with the notorious Hanatarash [one of the most extreme & influential Noise acts EVER] & going through all forms of Experimentalism in acts such as Noise Ramones, Puzzle Punks, MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse, Nani Nani [with John Zorn] & Destroy 2, not to mention all the even smaller side projects with Sonic Youth or his Turntablism madness under DJ Pica Pica Pica & DJ Chaos X and his most renown role as the percussionist/singer/trickster of Psych-Rock group Boredoms, to say he's eclectic is an understatement. Tetsurō has always abide by a Punk aesthetic no matter what project he's in & his stance on making music is a very childish one, making sounds from anything at hand/using instruments in non conventional manners and using unconventional things AS instruments. This is a rare 2 part video interview showing how he does what he does... it's in Japanese, but you really don't need to understand to enjoy it.

Maryanne Amacher

Fascinating American Experimental Noise artist, her work focuses mainly on otoacoustic emission [sound which is generated from within the inner ear] & when played at the right sound level, which is quite high and exciting, the tones in her music will cause your ears to act as neurophonic instruments that emit sounds that will seem to be issuing directly from your head. This is a clip from a 30 min docu of her being visited by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.

Pierre Bastien

French Experimental instrument constructor... In 1986 he formed his own orchestra, Mecanium, composed of Meccano machines which play various instruments, such as Chinese lute, Morrocan bendir, Javanese saron, koto, and violin. These machines were often driven by the rotation of old turntables. His music is impossible to classify & because of this i'll just say Experimental, but it's also highly intellectual, playfully childish &  strangely easy to digest. 

Franck Vigroux

Avant-Garde, Soundscape from France, very moody, dark & atmospheric... music to wander through futuristic empty cities at night.

The Ice Cream Headaches

Experimental UK group, really impossibe to classify because their stuff is all over the place... this was one of my two favorite tracks off of the 'Etc..' comp from Wrong Music, an atmospheric interlude at only a minute and a half.

Lucky Dragons

Really interesting Experimental act, this post specifically focuses on the 'make a baby' project, but all stuff under the LD moniker is worth checking, these guys are one of the ultimate audience participation acts & hail from Los Angeles. Also after listening through their Dark Falcon album, i think this is one of the best acts i've heard this year, like Nurse With Wound meets Cocorosie meets MITB.

Jimmy Joe Roche

[!!EXPERIMENTAL WARNING!!] Visual media/Electronic sound artist & often collaborator of Dan Deacon, who's also very worth checking into.

Yuko Nexus6

Experimental tape looping, laptop madness from Japan.

Gomma Workshop

This post is more to plug this guy, than the tune specifically... in saying that this track has a very Selected Ambient Works Vol. II vibe about it [which cant be bad eh']... top experimental act
