What got you into avant-garde and experimental music?

Was into Fear Factory in high school. haha

checked FF's influences and bought a Godflesh album and that introduced me to heavy music.

checked Godflesh's influences and bought a Swans album (cop/young god) and the rest of my musical love is history.

I'd have to say probably Aphex Twin...

Diablo Swing Orchestra. Their debut album, Butcher's Ballroom, is an orgasm for my ears.

For me the answer is Tom Morello he is always experimenting and searching for new sounds

The thing that propably got me int avant-garde and experimental music was Callisto. This happened sometime in 2007. I wanted to check them out because they are originally from my hometown and they had just released their second album Noir. I fell in love with their post-metal stuff. From there I went to post-rock, ambient and all kinds of other different stuff and im loving it.

Danny Boyle's movie soundtracks.

Specially 28 Days Later, with Brian Eno and John Murphy's music.

First post here, hopefully it seems an apt way...

1. Metal
2. ****ty Carnival Metal
3. Mr.Bungle(Definitely NOT ****ty carnival metal)
5. Naked City/Zorn
6. The world of real music.

Since then I stopped liking most ****ty carnival metal.

Tedium of conventional musical structure. Tire of hearing the same guitar riffs, solos, drum beats, and age after age of music that seems to only progress in terms of technology while degenerating, and growing increasingly kitsch melodically. An industry of increasingly simplistic overly streamlined machine music. Taking the bourgeoisie strictness of Classical music without the educated methods.

Avant Garde is the freedom of the human spirit because it takes creativity to pull off, and theoretically a machine mind could not create it, or at least, if a machine mind does(many forms of avant-garde like Musique Concrete) it at least has the ingenuity of an intelligent programmer at it's front.

I suppose, the craving for invention, and the love for unconventional styles of music which my peers seemingly don't appreciate simply because they are afraid to stick their necks out.

I liked from when I was first exposed to it on public radio.

Ha! I answered this twice and happened to sound incredibly snobby and pretentious both times!
