This is a band I've just come across that some people might like. Perhaps they're as much Prog as they are Avant-Garde Lite, but I thought I'd put them here anyway:-



And if you want to learn more about Daniel O'Sullivan, the man behind Miasma and The Carousel of Headless Horses:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel...eadless_Horses

And here's another band, with a foot in several genres, that I'm planning to explore more fully soon:-

Must...Resist... Spamming whole thread... With full-on Avant-Prog...

But I guess for now I'l just keep spamming Auktyon stuff wherever I can.

^ Haha! I liked that Auktyon clip a lot more than the previous one you posted, but there's no need to hold back on the Avant-Prog - a few examples would help me clarify what that sub-genre sounds like.

I am finally replying; last week my computer decided to shut down right after I'd spent an hour minutes musing about all of the selections in this thread.

I really quite like that last Auktyon song posted. The beginning half, at least.

Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses: I adore it! Like a grand waltz in the bowels of hell.
Third Ear Band: Beautiful!
A Hawk and a Hacksaw: A long time favorite. I am always in dire need of more accordions in my daily life!

I can't NOT mention Jun Miyake, who is a truly enchanting composer, likely a wizard and a gift to the world.






I can also recommend Contemporary Noise Quintet, though I haven't listened much beyond this one album:


(Apologies for that somewhat uninspired list; I'm having a bit of a caffeine crash at the moment.)

Since it's a lazy, slightly hungover sunday, I'll just post some songs without comments.



It's one of my main genres so I could go on and on, but let's leave it at that for now.

^ Haha! That's a great description of Miasma and the CHH!
I'll give a listen to your latest recommendations a little later, Chiomara. Thanks.

^ I remember a few of those, grindy; a feeling of satisfaction because you had a good time the previous evening, and a feeling of guilt because you should be studying....

Many thanks for all the different bands, which I'll be exploring in due course.

Luckily the studying part of my life is over.

I thought I'd bump this thread and bring it full circle because I've just been listening to North Sea Radio Orchestra's album, I a moon. Nothing raucous or disonant here, I'm afraid; they remind me most of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. They are a little too careful in their approach to be considered avant-garde by today's standards, I guess, but, rather like their album cover, an apparent simplicity conveys something quite subtle:-

This is very light if avant-garde at all:

yMusic, Beautiful Mechanical


but it sounds pretty good - didn’t hit a match on search

thought it kind of fit in here
