sleep · Post by **sleep** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 2:55 pm

hi everyone, i'm looking for really creepy/scary music recommendations, i've just had a recent obsession lately with creepy things for some reason and i'd like to listen to more of this stuff, any suggestions?

i'm looking for spooky experimental music, like ambient, drone, noise etc. but honestly i'm open for any and all genres/styles. thanks!

My first suggestion would be to submerge yourself in some Caretaker. (Especially in the Dark)

I love his work, I've been haunted ever since hearing it, though moments of beauty shine through.

Have you dived into the works of Coil? Its hard to pick Coil tracks to start someone on a Coil binge. This one has haunted me ever since I heard it when I was a teenager, that phone conversation is quite eerie, and it always makes my hair stand.

Oh and have you heard of Zero Kama? Music made solely out of Human Bones and Skull! :twisted:

Yeah, empty bliss is good stuff. Quite a convincing atmosphere. I can see he was going for the shining there.

Some of aphex is quite unsettling (rubber johnny comes to mind).

So I guess the op is really on a geogaddi roll lately?

I don't know if this is creepy as much as it is...unsettling?

When I'm in this mood, I like to listen to Akira Yamaoka's work from the Silent Hill series, particularly the 2nd installment's soundtrack

Think there are a few other similar threads you can search out, but in the meantime, my own personal choice would be this guy...

Elegi

He's been too quiet for a while now, sadly

Oh and Owl Splinters by Deaf Centre too. Required listening frankly.

Anything by Svarte Greiner too.
Actually, the whole Miasmah label is worth a root around.

Well there's always some classic Krzysztof Penderecki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w38Io51YesQ

Then there's this https://beynonarchival.bandcamp.com/alb ... chitecture which I haven't checked out fully yet, but it's definitely some unsettling shit. Been on my list for awhile of things to buy. Recommend reading the description at the bottom; some very interesting stuff.

I was going to say Penderecki but someone already beat me to it.

This is right up my alley. Reminds me of Pye Corner Audio Transcription Services and that Scarfolk blog conceptually.

maybe not entirely "creepy," but I find that lots of múm songs have that sort of dark, demented aesthetic to them.

the most unsettling thing I've ever heard in my life is this one:

This because the sound and the story behind. I tried to sleep with it once but I couldn't, its just too much...

A good place to start might be to search t'internet for dark ambient.

I bought 'Cold Summer' by Lull recently, which I like -

These are also pretty creepy tracks (in my opinion) (first is a very creepy video as well) that I've randomly come across -
