Srangest ,most out there sounding music

Most any John Cage will fit in here, but the antithesis of silence is a piece called "Solo for Voice 22, Theatre with Electronics (from Songbooks, 1970)". It is a duet of sorts that involves electronically filtered sounds of breathing and sniffing. It actually has a written score that dictates when and where motifs of irregular vs. regular breathing through mouth and/or nose are to be administered. It is hard to imagine that it was written with a clear mind.

Can't remember the exact album, but an old Pink Floyd song that I heard called..."Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave & Grooving with a Pict"

by far the strangest I have ever heard

Ellery

Ornette Coleman "Dancing In Your Head" (correct title?) and most anything by Roland Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society.

Ellery911,

"Several Species..." was on the Ummagumma album.

Have to agree w/ Photon46 alot of music that initially seems totally alien, disjionted or unfathomable can later seem perfectly logical - like just plain good or great music, (Varese, Ruins, Beefheart, Univers Zero, Area, Morton Subotnick). Can't say that yet about some of the stuff released by Cecil Taylor, Derek Bailey or Anthony Braxton.
