[@MaterLacrymarum]

Oh dear, isn't it amazing how defensive people get when someone likes music they don't? I don't think he uses the word "sophisticated", he says "weird". You may not think it is, and? Aren't there other channels you can go to with mainstream crap where the video maker acts as though they're having a orgasm whilst listening? You're one of those people who look at Van Gogh's Sunflowers and think it's crap because it doesn't look like a photograph, aren't you.

[@YumaUesaka]

Clarinetist on Mat Muntz's record here. Mat, myself, and everyone involved in that project, are part of the scene here where we make weird music to usually a small crowd. Even for this project, the one show we played probably had a single digit band:audience size ratio. I appreciate you taking the time to curate and amplify this music to reach a wider audience! Excited to check out the rest!

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Awesome! Maybe you can join us for the interview. Talk to Mat. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@witchnmonk]

You - and your scene - are amazing. You have appreciation from across the ocean!!!! ❤️

[@davecorbin5088]

Serious question; what do you do for a living?

[@Will_in_Munich]

You have probably already heard of it, the world of improvised music is a small one. But if you are coming to Europe you may want to contact Offene Ohren in Munich. They have put on a series of improvised music over the years of very high quality and I think Mat Muntz's music would fit with their programming. You can be guaranteed of a modestly sized but attentive and enthusiastic audience.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Who are you asking, Dave?

[@michaelrexrode3759]

I sometimes get depressed knowing all the fantastic music out there that I'll miss because there isn't enough time to discover it.

My thoughts exactly!

[@ryn8349]

Im "That guy" who has the privilege of only discovering Gentle Giant a year ago. Fresh Ears for me. Now have Power, Freehand, and In'terview. All amazing. I grew up , as a kid on Weird music. My normal was Isao Tomita, Japan, Mick Karn, White Noise, Tod Dockstader, etc... I'm 51 now. First album I ever bought was Tomita's "Bermuda Triangle" with allowance at 8

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Lucky!! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@murdockscott]

Tomita is amazing. My father brought Pictures At An Exhibition home from the radio station he worked at when I was around 13 and I have deeply appreciated his music ever since. I feel lucky that I was exposed to it at an early age.

[@brokentiles]

The joy that comes across your face while listening to some samples is something that your viewers here get. Thank you.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

That's so funny because I was half embarrassed about it.

[@ArnoSchlick]

@@MakeWeirdMusic self-embarrassed in public. 😂 I will put it this way: No experiments would lead to less fun and less chances to find one or another enriching experience. This was my way: About 25 years ago, I talked about that with a Lecturer of poetry in Berlin. He was well educated in modern literature, well situated, and wrote to me, after that talk, that I am "only a Gamma-Scientist with no chance to write good modern poetry ever". 20 years later now, I have published my poems in East-Asia, India, Austria and Germany and won several literary competitions. I studied Biology and philosophy, but no literature. So, who was right? The well educated snob, or the guy who always seeks weird fun?

So I have this close friend, his job is more or less creating playlists for companies. He's been listening to 7 hours of music a day, 5 days a week for years... and that's exactly the style of music he listens to now! I guess in some way to "wash his ears", as you eat ginger between two sushis. My theory: once you've reached a certain stage, you're going to look for really weird stuff because you can't listen to “basics” songs any more! We should call it _ginger music_

[@BayouMaccabee]

@MakeWeirdMusic If you could do a Zoom live stream (or something like that) with some friends and/or supporters where you talk about & share/review everyone's "new finds" would be a lot of fun. Or perhaps you could have your subscribers/supporters submit their own suggestions of "new finds" for you to checkout and share your favorites of all submissions with 1-minute (or so) review clips of each one could be fun too.

[@johannwolf1]

I don't like weird for weird's sake. It's indulgent and ego driven. I like weird when it's a natural outflowing of some weirdos pursuit of true expression. Usually they won't find it weird, but rather beautiful or at least personal.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Fine

[@Thomas-n3d9u]

I understand, but listening weird music from others May be interesting to some of us who want to make weird music as a natural outflow. There is no need to get uni-dimensional here. Some people want to pursue art that is both a natural outflow and weird. Because we are weird. Every human is weird, some people draw attention to their non-weird traits, others not. Its all right. To each its own.

[@psychedelicpiper999]

I don’t know what else people were expecting from a channel called Make Weird Music. This is totally up my alley. Experimental, dissonant jazz-rock. Must get tiring seeing all the plebs who’ve never listened to early Zappa, Beefheart, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Henry Kaiser, avant-garde classical, free jazz, and musique concrète blabbering on how none of this is “music”. You keep doing your thing. I’m glad a channel like yours exists. Likewise, I’m not sure what people are expecting who say this isn’t weird enough. They should enlighten us.

[@jwinnfield9192]

Is this a joke? Come on, you are not being serious haha. This stuff is tragic and is pretty much the most extreme examples of why people say music is bad these days. All the good music that can be created has not been created, that myth is a lie perpetuated to give credence to the crap that gets produced these days. There is still good music in all genres, but the internet and modern structure of the music industry does indeed flood the airwaves with sheer dross. Being technically skilled with instruments never means good music, some of the best has been made by novices and some of the worst by the most skilled. Music is a representation of emotion. It’s being able to translate an emotion in music that you have to have, not just being able to play an instrument or the ability to record noises. When you hear something good you know it, even if it’s not in your favourite style. The art just shines through, or at least ideally it should do. Ok so all of these are not rubbish, there is some talent in there, even the bastardised discordant reworking of a popular tv theme tune haha.

I love “weird” music. A number of those first examples in the video seemed to mostly just rely on dissonant intervals for their “weirdness” though. You should checkout Tom Waits 80s - 90s catalogue, and also the Latin Playboys (side-group formed by a couple of members of Los Lobos, as well as the two Los Lobos albums, Colossal Head and Kiko (which are nothing remotely like Los Lobos’ standard music). Marc Ribot, my favourite guitarist, also has an outstanding catalog of music ranging from experimental Cuban, punk, free jazz, to no-wave.

For all the the great weird music lovers out there, check out Rise Robot Rise, a Brooklyn based late 90's band with 2 albums to my knowledge (Rise Robot Rise & Spawn) blending funk, ethnic, alternative, fusion and all the above. Listening to one album is an experience on its own, there is nothing else like it !!!!!

[@wout123100]

someone's trash is another one's treasure, what is great music is impossible to define. sounds like a lot of noise almost all these.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Sounds like you watched less than 10 minutes. My wife listens to some of the stuff in this video and she hates weird music.

[@elicarlton-pearson8945]

This is an awesome resource. Long some Sleepytime fan, otherwise most this stuff is new to me. Thanks for posting!

[@michaeldavis-kk6qx]

Someone has already mentioned Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on BBC6 Music. Also Wire magazine and their samplers are a good source of introduction for new music and the more arcane side of electronic and improvised music.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

I think that's the third or fouth mention of the BBC6 Music thing. I should check that out.

[@max-stanley]

Lots of new-to-me music in here and I'm digging almost all of it so far. Keep the vids (and playlists) coming!

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Thanks! I will!

[@KrisKringle14]

Wow, just stumbled into this. I am really amazed and thrilled, just because I LOVE weird music. Coming more from the classical side (eg Stockhausen, Xennakis, Rebekka Saunders, Pierre Henry), this is all new to me. Thanks for giving me a great time while listening!

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Thank YOU. I am especially glad you know about the past without expecting the present to relive it

[@eliznaomistuart]

Hi again. Here are a couple of suggestions for you to check out: 1) Horse Lords - one of few bands that does a lot of microtonal work, plus polyrhythms, etc, and 2) Surplus 1980 - one of Moe! Staiano's projects (he's a past member of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum).

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Wonderful! Thank you for the recommendations

[@davidwright8432]

Outstandingly weird! And wonderful, too. Violates all known traditional musical sensibility. Ear and brain cleansing!

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Sweet! There’s a part 2 video too

[@alecredfearn6525]

Psyched to see Brandon Seabrook in the mix. He's an old friend of mine and one of the best and most original musicians I've ever met.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

I can’t get over how cool he is! You’re lucky to be friends with him

[@alecredfearn6525]

@@MakeWeirdMusic He grew up in the town next to mine and we had some friends in common, but we got to hang a lot when we were both playing in the band Beat Circus in the oughts. His solos were always the highlight of any given set.

[@JusticeConstantine]

Oh my. This video just got randomly recommended to me. I am so happy to have a curator to show me some cool new songs. Definitely dig S. Carey. Very Bon Iver-esque.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Apparently they work together a lot but I’ve never gotten into bon iver.

[@JulianMoreen]

@@MakeWeirdMusic Bon Iver is the band, the lead singer is Justin Vernon. S. Carey is in Bon Iver.

[@TillermanRecords]

Correction Our Neighbourhood was the I like to sleep track Brilliant Thank you for your show bro! Do more please!!!

[@marbleblue5127]

Those first four were challenging but I'm glad I stuck around. Some very tasty stuff here.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

So glad you hung in there. Thanks for watching.

Thank you

I just discovered your channel. I found a lot of stuff I liked. Thank you.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@isaacq517]

would love to see this as a regular feature on the channel

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Playlist 2 is done and ready to film! Playlist 3 is just getting started. Thank you!

[@ruthlessproducer]

Thanks for this…. So great I need to be challenged with listening… some great art here not for everyone of course but thanks for sharing this with everyone 😎🎵👊🏻👊🏻

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Glad you get it! Some people don’t 😆

[@victorimaginator2355]

Meanwhile I have whole album with odd signature dance music and thinking: "who's gonna listen it, anyway?" In fact, there's an audience for everything I suppose =) Great content, love it

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

There's something for everyone!

[@victorimaginator2355]

@@MakeWeirdMusic I think, that I need to remake this whole album made in far 2001 up to my new standards =) You're inspiring me to do it

[@Unkraut]

I thank the Algorithm and I thank you! I've been on the lookout for weird music curation but I've had trouble finding something that's genuinely out there :)

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@jimdukeproject]

I’ve been interested listening to different music than typical mainstream. Much of my music is influenced not only by prog like Crimson, but also experimental songs I like to fuse genres.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Then you'll love stuff we put on the channel. I just posted a new recommendation video this morning.

[@charleschadwick8042]

what a great albeit brief tour through a muddy field with whats to be putting down deep roots! thank you!

Wow! Stumbled across this video and love your suggestions there’s so much cool music out there with incredibly talented musicians. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@gavinbuck8130]

I'm so pleased that SGM have not only retained their desire to create intricate, interesting and beautiful music, but are still pushing further than their previous works, just picked up 'Of the Last Human Being' on Bandcamp, this is no doubt going to be played to death, so much going on, there's bound to be new details I missed on the first 10 listens. Thank you 😊

[@thecreamyone3606]

Immediately interested n intrigued

[@misterguts]

Sounds like Frank Zappa organizing a Bluegrass band

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Hahaha no kidding

[@laurentlemoing6338]

Great Stuff !!! Thank you for this ! Sometimes I think that music is dead, but listening to this gives me hope. Maybe I should subscribe to Spotify, if that's what it is coming from. I wasn't found of the first 3 or 4 weird tunes but after that, you made my day !!!!!....

[@guyriddihough]

Chaotic banjo Prog. OK, I’m sold, right there.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Live interview with him happening Thursday! Come join.

[@guyriddihough]

@@MakeWeirdMusic PS Love the grin!

[@heresthething41]

Awesome mix. Some of it reminds me of some Japanese bands, like Toe & LITE. Some other Bandcamp bands I'm into are Plastic Mermaids & Deadletter. PM are very Eno influenced. Other great bands are Squid & Major Parkinson. Check them out if you haven't already.
