- Albert Ayler: awesome avant-garde jazz saxophonist...once describing himself he said, "If 'Trane was the father and Pharoah was the son, then I was the Holy Ghost." fucking crazy ass shit.

- Art Ensemble of Chicago - more avant-garde jazz. every instrument imaginable played.

- Oxbow: not that obscure but yeah, weird.

- Also not obscure but nevertheless sweet are Sonic Youth's self-released EPs, SYR 1-3 (Anagrama, Slaapkamers Met Slagroom, and Invito Al Cielo), all feedback-heavy explorations that Geffen would never agree to release. the 4th SYR release is worth checking out as well. 2 discs of them covering everyone from John Cage to Yoko Ono. very weird indeed.

- that reminds me also to suggest John Cage. a truly genius composer...years before the invention of the synthesizer, he was in the forefront in the exploration of electric and electronic sound sources, using oscillators, turntables, and amplification to musical ends. He pioneered the use of graphic notation and, in employing chance operations to determine musical parameters, was the leading light for the classical avant-garde of the 20th century.

- lastly, just watch this guy and write down some of the names he mentions

Jeffrey Lewis - The Complete History of Punk Rock and Its Development on the Lower East Side (1950-1975)
