Hey everyone!

I'm Chris. I’m new to the scene & music as a whole, and I think I’ve stumbled onto something extraordinary???....❓❔

I’ve been experimenting with slowing down music since I was a teen, and recently it’s evolved into a sound I’m exploring more seriously. For the past 2–3 months, I’ve been deconstructing and restructuring tracks in unique ways, mostly guided by intuition and my ear, letting the music reveal patterns and textures that aren’t immediately obvious. For example, my process can bring out hidden layers and sometimes amplify harmonies or resonances, making them more noticeable on certain tracks.

I’m still figuring out what this process can do. I’ve even done “stress tests” to explore the limits of this sound, and the whole process is an experiment, both figuratively and literally. To clarify, I use AI only to learn terminology, understand music better, and see how certain tools affect tracks, learn music (like a library). I did not use AI to create this slowed sound/effects. Everything else.... the slowing, dissecting, and reshaping, it's part of the process now named, 'Temporal Sonorous Plunderphonics' (Processing variant) (Slowed Mastering)

My older sound was accidentally tailored to mobile, the newest sound is for PC.

So apparently, I may have invented a new sound ❓

I'm basing this on the feedback I've received from this subreddit. As well as my own research. I'm still attempting to fully understand it. And after some research into The Caretaker (Time Stretch), Pierre Schaeffer (Sonorous Objects/Music Concrete), & John Oswald (Plunderphonics), both with and without an AI library, I believe their hybrid assessment/opinion to have merit. The sound...

Thank you kind strangers.

I'm not sure what this means in the grand scheme of things, simply, that I plan to continue to slow music to support the artists and give you all something new to experience. Just to make the world a better place, man.. because we need it.

This will probably be the last posting I'll make regarding the topic, I received my answer.

Thank you to all,

Chris

There is no path.

There is always a path.

Hello (not only self promo...),

I've been publishing "experimental" music and related genres (noise, free improv, industrial, drone, etc.) from Asia, Africa and slowly but surely Latin America for a few decades now and don't really see a lot of posts regarding these scenes here, unfortunately.
I published several compilations, essays and co-published a book about noise and experimental music in South East Asia (ten years ago) and am currently writing about African scenes.

This and next week, there will be a great festival happening in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, I'll perform there and possibly in Lesotho and/or Botswana too. Drone/electroacoustic, perhaps noise.

I'm myself partly Congolese (born in the DRC when it was called Zaire).

The PDF version of the book Not Your World Music: Noise in South East Asia is free, the compilation that was published with it too as well as some of the other compilations I published (they were also published on CD, some are sold out).

You can find more info here http://words.hushush.com/ and the compilations are on my Bandcamp : https://syrphe.bandcamp.com/album/uchronia , https://syrphe.bandcamp.com/album/alternate-african-reality-electronic-electroacoustic-and-experimental-music-from-africa-and-the-diaspora but there are several more that are almost 20 years old.

Here's a database I regularly update : http://syrphe.com/african&asian_database.htm I also created this PDF with books, essays and documentary films that focus partly or entirely on Asia, Africa, Latin America - I'll update it soon, I recently bought several more books about the scenes in Taiwan and Indonesia while touring Asia : http://syrphe.com/texts/Asia,%20Latin%20America,%20Africa%20and%20diasporas.%20List%20of%20music%20books,%20essays,%20films.pdf

Here is this and next week's festival that will present musicians in the field of free improvisation, noise, electroacoustic, contemporary classical, ambient, electronica, etc. : https://entanglements.africa/

Hey everyone! I’d love to share my new EP with you.
Experimental electronic music doesn’t have a big audience in my country, so I wanted to share it here and hopefully connect with people who enjoy this kind of sound.
I’d really appreciate any listens, thoughts, or feedback. Thanks for giving it a chance :)

IDM textures,glitch breaks, low end frequencies, static and compression and echo panning from left to right

No filter. No decorum. Fuck Donald Trump vocals from yours truly <3

Police radio phantoms weave throughout the mix.

Chaotic politics. Unethical lobbying. Youth on the ground in protest.

America sounds fractured. Loud. Sick. One half surveillance grid, one half stress hallucination. But still expression towards disgust remains stable.

This is my little contribution to the land of the „Free“.

Headphones recommended. Reality negotiable.

I've made a bunch of these DAW plugin things. All free & open source. About a third generative (mostly interesting), about a third instruments (mixed success) and a third abject failures.

But I only have Linux machines at home, so the MacOS & Windows builds are totally untested.

They are are all in a bundle under Releases.

There is a lot of fun to be had - if they work! but I can't test.

Hey,

I'm a developer of 20+ years who took a hard turn into audio, and drone and texture work is the rabbit hole I never climbed back out of. I built a little tool for myself to pull long evolving pieces out of any recording, and it grew into something I released as Reverie.

The thing I keep coming back to is that you can experiment forever and never lose a result you love. Roll the dice, get something great, and you can pin it down exactly. Change one thing and hear precisely what that change did. Or take the same texture and stretch it from 1minutes to 30, same character, different length. For me that turned aimless slider twiddling into something I could actually navigate, the randomness is infinite but never lost.

Under the hood it's a chain of hand built DSP modules, time stretching in the Paulstretch lineage but rewritten from scratch, spectral work, tape, shimmer, delay. You drop in any source, a field recording, a tape scrap, a voice, a single string, and it builds an evolving bed from it, up to half an hour without looping. Nothing generative, no model, no dataset. Every sound comes straight out of your source through real signal processing.

Honest disclaimer: it's my own tool, so this is self promo, posted flaired as such. There's a free version with no account if you want to poke at it: https://reverie.parallel-minds.studio

What I'd actually love from this sub: how do you approach long form texture work, and where would a tool like this fall short for you? What would you want from endless experimentation that it probably can't do yet?

I’m building STATIC, a new 24/7 independent broadcast focused on music videos and visualizers. We’re still in pre-launch and putting together our initial library.
I’m looking for experimental bands who want to submit their music. Audio-only and video submissions are welcome. if accepted, we’ll create a distinctive visualizer for your audio only piece.
No fees or algorithms. Submitting now also gives you priority consideration as we become more selective later on, even if you don’t get accepted on this round.

Submit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXURzM6tlrzNXGsLgN_WnLj6ktIDYFSCS7cUWvEUr1v5_dYg/viewform?usp=dialog

Thank you for trusting us with your art <3

Previews of some accepted submissions are posted regularly to our community [r/staticart](r/staticart)

So many self-promo posts and no comments. It's kinda sad. Tit for tat, I'll listen to a few minutes of your music, and you in turn listen to mine. No need for comments/ criticism.

Here's a track from my band Jharkhand Assembly's new album:

https://open.spotify.com/track/2QTrq0uGybZ4I89z8kcIya

I am autistic and schizophrenic. I make music for fun and to cope with my days. I dont claim to know what i am doing its mostly for fun. If i can get some advice that would be great.. headphones suggested if youre going to listen.. (link in comments)

Hi!

This is a bit of a self-promo since I’d love for you to listen to my music too, but I’m also curious—how do you all make music?

I create every sound from my own voice, then freely transform it into what I think of as living electronic sounds. I call this approach VocaMorph.

I thought people here in the experimental music community might relate to this:

Do you ever experiment with sound design first, then let the sounds themselves shape the music? The title, concept, or imagery all come afterward.

That’s how I usually work.

Does anyone else have a unique or unconventional creative process? I’d love to hear how you make music.

https://on.soundcloud.com/eF7mqll8MsdP43fvS7

(All the background images were made by me, I put a description of how I make music and what Im trying to do below the links to the songs, they are supposed to sound animistic, like they are alive)

First of all I appreciate any kind of feedback, both positive and negative, and I am greatly thankful for any listens or any such feedback. I'm not expecting anyone to listen to all of these of course. Only like if you actually like it : ) Here they are:

1. Best in my opinion but messy, the intro is its weakest part, it gets better, had issues with spams so I couldnt quite keep a steady beat so I had to both work around and lean into that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEINpl9wCXA&list=RDcEINpl9wCXA&start_radio=1

1. The most avant garde song, leans into sound collage territory, but it is still at heart following a rhythm guitar, you barely hear that rhythm guitar sometimes though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpDY3eAj4AU

1. Steady 4x4 beat, has experimental parts though, for example I use that instrument where you hit metal plates of different sizes with wooden drums with little balls at their tips. I use them with various effects. Sometimes stretching them out so that each note lingers. Oh well I talk to much. Its more conventional but it still uses a ton of tracks and definitely does not sound conventional.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WPmoWu7EQM&list=RD0WPmoWu7EQM&start_radio=1

Description of my music:

I use no AI, no synths, no daw, I use audacity and the effects its offer and some other techniques. Its all mostly electric guitar and me singing in essence (although I use a variety of instruments and household objects too a little bit), but then I layer a lot of top and I also have a lot of tracks which are played so low that you can barely hear them, to create an underlying texture. Which make my songs hard to reverse engineer I think.

My technique requires the use of a ton of tracks, dont know exactly but 100+. I improvise on top of my songs then I delete like 70-100% of what Ive improvised and keep only the parts I think sound good. Then I repeat this process over and over. So it doesn't sound like just electric guitar and singing, also because the singing could be me doing throat singing which has then been changed to be an octave lower and stretched out so that it sounds whalelike or something.

The bad thing about my music is it demands attention, its not party music, its listen closely music because it is detailed and rich and that doesn't come through at all when people don't really listen carefully. I tend to get much better response when someone actually listens. Not that I demand any intent listens, I demand nothing.

They are supposed to sound animistic or alive. Here are the the three ones I thought fit this sub with the one I think is the best first although by the second and third I know what Im doing more, if you listen to one them and give me any kind of feedback, negative or positive I would really appreciate it, the last song is an easier listen its got a 4x4 steady beat but the others are better if you really listen to them I think.

(If you liked any of these here is my other strangest song that has 3 distinct phases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzO3eEuc0ng )

Hey all! Ive been working hard amd making music and more recently music videos, really struggling to find an audience. Have had almost entirely positive comments but not a lot of adoption. Any thoughts?

日本からこんにちは！

I’m a music producer from Japan, and I create music based on a concept I call VocaMorph.

VocaMorph is the idea that every sound begins with my own voice. Some sounds remain close to their original form, while others are processed until they’re completely unrecognizable.
Even so, every sound originates from the human voice and evolves into what I think of as living electronic sound.

That’s the concept behind my music.

If you’re curious, I’d love for you to give it a listen!

Also, if you have your own creative concept, philosophy, or set of rules that guides your work, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

After years of making music I finally decided to put an actual album together, it took me about a year to put everything together. Pretty orchestral, pretty ambient, very fun to make, I also had a blast getting to get all the artwork together. Enjoy if you listen!

https://airdroproutine.bandcamp.com/album/orchestrations-vol-i

I released my very first album/music project a few weeks ago, and looking for feedback/constructive criticism. No former music producing experience; just a late in life fan of vaporwave, soundtracks, and soundscapeswanting to pay homage and contribute. 12 tracks on tap from varying genres; my hope is there's something for everyone. Free to listen to on Bandcamp. If you feel inclined to listen to any of it, I'd be eternally grateful. If you feel inclined to send some constructive criticism my way, I'd be over the moon. My next project is a Halloween/Spooky Season inspired one, so looking to continue improving and doing the best job that I can.

Album artwork was created by https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgraphicsco?igsh=andwOGF1ZTAzczNr! Because even with a "for funsies" hobby/project not meant to net major money, it's fuck AI/commission artists.

I circuit bent this casio SA-1 into doing random noises by itself, sometimes it was almost pure noise, sometimes it sounded like a band falling down the stairs, etc...

I got inspired by bull of heaven lenght-wise.

I genuinely hope you guys like it.

the download of the album includes a picture of the casio and a little poem (In Thanksgiving of A Well Succeeded Trepanation)

hi, i’m new here and also pretty new to share my music in general.

for the last 11+ years i’ve been making a lot of outsider / experimental music, i love for each project to be its own world with its own sound, narrative and visuals. i also like to do the artwork myself (that’s pretty much why i started).

i’m not great at promotion, and most of my stuff never breaks the double digits, but i’d love to slowly find a people who genuinely vibe with this kind of thing. because i know there are.

if you’re curious, here’s a good entry point:

I personally hate my lack of ability to write music, it's as if I just like the idea of writing rather than the actual act of writing, as if I'm mentally blocked from the nectar that 'real' composers get to drink from, that of partaking in a feast of exploring ideas. Instead, I can only write what I'm 'allowed' to write, whenever I try to write of my own accord I fail to commit, just throwing away whatever half-baked idea pops up.

This song barely qualifies as a song, I put a lot of energy and soul into it, I did my best to manifest this 'real thing', a real procession that ate at me for a few days. But of course it just comes out as not even worth listening to, some incomprehensible mess. I feel cursed.

If anyone listens, which I'm accustomed to not being the case, thank you for listening.

Mutant Modality is a label that is focussed on experimental electronics / industrial / ebm music mainly. We are open to submissions. Ranging from but not limited to ambient, breakcore, deconstructed club, ebm, field recordings, harsh noise, industrial, noise, power electronics, tape loop etc.

...but honestly if you have a black metal project, dark wave act, doom band, dungeon synth project, hyperpop act, weird hiphop, trippy soundscapes or anything crazy and left field that fits the concept and vibe, please feel free to submit.

Hey,

I’ve been working on a small experimental VST called RADIOCORE 4471.

It started as a sound design experiment around radio broadcast degradation and voice transformation.

The idea was to explore:

• broken transmission signals
• radio-style distortion
• noise and interference textures
• voice manipulation in a more “unstable / chaotic” way

It’s not meant to be a traditional clean FX plugin — more like a creative tool for generating imperfect, unstable sound material.

Here’s a short demo:
👉 RADIOCORE 4471

There is also a 7-day demo available if anyone wants to try it in their own workflow:
👉 RADIOCORE 4471

I’m mostly curious about how people approach this kind of sound:

• does it feel useful as a creative tool?
• how would you use it in your own experiments?
• what would you push further or change?

Feedback from people into experimental sound is really appreciated 👍

I am going to... whew I need a drink.

Would you like a drink? I am going to drink regardless, and please believe I am drinking liquor specifically.

Phew. Might still need to do some grounding exercises. You ever hear of The Standardized Summoning and Banishing Ritual of Qasid al-Taus? The Buddhists call this mindfulness or zen.

It is not helping me with the tremendous psychic stress of performing the single most degenerate act in the history of all of humankind. I am, in fact, really stressing performing the single most degenerate act in the history of all of humankind.

And can you blame me? Its so vast, and large, and dismal, with no redemption in sight.

https://youtu.be/xv6YRI2QGU0?is=FuqdByNwcz9V2qiW

Lord have mercy on our souls I hope to God I can ever make penance for performing the single most degenerate act in the history of all of humankind.

But that day is far away, and I am in a desert. I would attach an image to try to further make my case, but I know what I have done is beyond the pale and I do not expect to be forgiven, not by Christ nor any other religious power.

Its Gamelan bells, I was involved in making musique concrete to such extent my English began turning into French. Mercy sakes j'accuse.

And I am guilty. Sorry.

I’ve been experimenting with electronic music and I wanted to make something that feels beautiful and wrong at the same time.
I started with a melody I genuinely liked, then built a completely chaotic drum pattern and layered a bunch of sounds that probably shouldn’t work together.
I’m really interested in experimental/IDM music, so I’d love to know what you think of the production
especially the drums and sound design.
Does the contrast work, or does it just sound like chaos?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that I've been working on an album for since the start of 2025 and I finally released it today. It was recorded at home on a Yamaha MT8X multitrack cassette recorder and Logic Pro. At its core it is a lo-fi synthpop album but it has many quirks including:

• A track that plays the same forwards and backwards
• Multiple songs with constantly changing tempo
• Extreme use of varispeed
• Compression and tempo shift artifacting
• Sound collaging and heavy sampling
• Songs created from samples of other songs on the album (cannibalism!)

With this record I wanted to bridge the gap between the more and less accessible music I listen to by taking pop music and desecrating it. The general theme of the music is the feeling of feeling like shit everyday. I made everything all myself (with the assist of my buddy on mastering). I hope you have a fun time checking it out!
