We all know the genre "easy listening." I want to hear what you consider to be some "difficult listening."Post em.
>>131472042Anything from the Residents
>>131472178Not available is very listenable
>>131472302Try to make a normal person listen to it, i failed many times.Pic reminds me, Venetian Snares Songs about my cats is great and filters the fuck out of people.
>>131472302That's the opinion of somebody who enjoys inaccessible music
>>131472302it has melodies, but the vocals and atmosphere will put off normal listeners

cat thread = zoomer thread.every time.
>>131472467Things like extreme metal or harsh noise are too obvious, not worth briging up i think...
>>131472042I really enjoy thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8osMZelZiVc

>>131472328>i failed many timesthat sounds like a you problem
everyone ITT recommending music with melody and harmony played on instruments like some radio-friendly fucking pleb>>131472042>I want to hear what you consider to be some "difficult listening."here, knock yourself outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9gn0Ferz0whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm0AplxuAhYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-GMvj7xT5Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYBki7ixg68https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ7SyS5kn2seasy fucking peasy. come up with a more interesting challenge next time
>>131474432how about coming up with a more interesting answer than noise music
Good Morning Good Night, or really any onkyo in general
>>131472042>Zoviet france>Red Krayola. The vocals are occasionally really grating in their dissonance and spoken word style delivery>Later geriatric Alan Vega is a real filter. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BlGac89wWA>xtoyourmilkyhair can be a rough album on the ears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqjtg17VAro
Free Kazz is an obvious answer as far as music that throws the listener off is concernedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorIe4PQ8EsBut the most ''inaccessible'' music is probably the stuff that requires a certain cultural baggage and a specific context in order to listen to it. Not to automatically qualify this shit as pompous but there's a degree of initiation one needs to have to ''get'' something like Ligeti's Grand Macabre opera for example, which i personally don't. There's universe of references and codes and symbols within that kind of music that eliminates most people from ever getting down to it. Who the fuck is gonna put this shit on in their car during a drive?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJXTkIC4Gl0
This legitimately filters people into Outkast.https://youtu.be/hwo85o3Giek?is=5wO7TGvRYX0z1pnQ
>>131472355>>131472492>>131475160>>131472910this stuff is great
>>131472355now we're talking
*To Be Kind* by Swans and *Exmilitary* by Death Grips are the first two things to come to my mind. They're pretty common listens by /mu/tants, but there's a reason why they're common listens despite neither being close to mainstream records. They're deeply compelling works.
I like univers zero
>>131479856Death Grips has been a mainstream band for the last 6 or so years. Literal kiddie celebrities praise them in red carpet interviews. Their shows are filled with 15 year old kids. TMS is a pop album.I'm not saying this as a knock against the music by the way, but it's crossed that bridge a long time ago.
>>131479906>Their shows are filled with 15 year old kids.This is true of basically all "difficult listening" music that isn't classical. Younglings are much likelier to give it a chance.
>>131479906They don't even have a million listeners a month on Spotify. They're barely more popular than Arnold Schoenberg.
>>131474806everything posted in this thread has been stuff that's shitty on purpose and then acting like the low quality is a "pleb filter"noise """music""" is the king of this, as well as Captain Beefheart- and Talking Heads- inspired outputs
>>131480433Yeah so true all the local noise shows here arent sexual depravity exhibitions at all
>>131472042this was kinda difficult
>>131480509>Talking Heads- inspired outputswhat?
>>131481631are you struggling to decipher what he meant or arguing that talking heads-inspired bands are not difficult listening
>>131481976Both I suppose, since talking heads and their derivatives are quite accessible
Yowie, The Flying Luttenbachers, and Zu are particularly difficult bands to listen to. The musical equivalent of playing QWOP.
>>131472042classical: full concentration requiredpop&rock: yeah, whateverjazz: you don't listen to it all; it's just there
>>131472042https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV7pk2Rn0Fsyea its metal, but its weird metal. It's long, lots of starts and stops, hard then softens, random old french movie dialogues spliced in. idk wtf to call it
>>131472042The Anal Cunt 5643 Song EP is still undefeated
>>131472042Boring music is difficult to listen to. So I find music that's weird, loud and erratic easier to listen to, ironically.>>131474432Noise might be surprising at first but if you are into loud music it's not that big a deal after a while and kinda easy to enjoy, just gotta protect your ears. I find Velvet Underground's white light harder to enjoy because it's a long-winded repetitive improvisation without a lot of dynamics and less interesting composition.
>>131486292>jazz: you don't listen to it all; it's just thereYeah love chilling with some coffee and spiritual unity
>>131475072>Later geriatric Alan VegaWhy not just post Frankie Teardrop, must've been bonkers at the time. The long instrumental part is beautiful though.
>>131472042I'd say Black Midi as a music genre, not the bandhttps://youtu.be/NQPfYx0utvM
>>131472042this album makes me want to cut my ears off and eat them, one of the worst creations ever, fuck this nepo baby bitch
xenakis, schoenberg, gorguts - obscura, the 4h long autechre albums, a good half of john zorn's catalog, ornette coleman, anthony braxton>>131472492this album is quite soothing but I agree it's difficult because it never ends. the metallic overtones are distracting too on headphones
this put a hole in the matrixhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3bmN_uKo2Y
>>131488417oops wrong songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnMdGD6iLo8
>>131472178came to post their album Eskimo
>>131472178Their Hank Williams record was pretty straightforward
>>131472042https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mIC4nYwzpNf9La4O4W0WnHYaE7u75xktAKnock yourself out. One of death metal's most respected classic albums. The main guy behind the project is a classically-trained composer. It's completely avant-garde and borderline unlistenable. If you want a sample, then check out either the title track:https://youtu.be/1p03KeMM-_UOr Nostalgia:https://youtu.be/KXF7KM6Av0w
>>131479906Yeah satanist hollywood types maybe
Anyone have any idea where I can get this album? Seems some chilean dude was the label and had a meltdown over payment providers and now it's effectively lost media I guessI know it's lame as shit but I miss it man
I have had it with not answering this thread;"Loic De Caluwé". Dive in, then run away screaming
>>131488787>Gorguts>UnlistenableIt's the most popular disso death album so I don't think so. Portal is way more harsher
Beefheart is always gateway drughttps://youtu.be/NTE7x_moqms
