I'd have to side with a lot of contemporary composers on the disturbing side of things. Schnitkke, Ligeti, Lutoslawski, the Stravinsky of the Rites, Mahler when he's not being all gay and romantic, Penderecki (even later stuff - ooh). Sometimes I get that mood where Jandek does what he's meant to, but mostly I find it less interesting.

I listened to a Francesco Lopez piece last night [untitled number something] while I was sleeping. It was amazing, woke up to this horrible bee noise, someone breathing and a rhythmically off-set grandfather clock. So very wrong. Obviously there's your Diamandas and your Hainos. Otherwise, it's all been mentioned. Assuming someone's mentioned C93. Have they? To be honest, I skim more than ever these days, and I couldn't be fucked to read everything in the first place.

Oh yes, why did I forget Francisco Lopez? I find Third Eye Foundation's 'Lions Writing The Bible' a bit whooooo, but that is probably because it was used in Chris Morris' Jam and it stuck with me. Your Diamandas and C93's should be there for obvious reasons. Philip Jeck can be rather freakish if played at night, and so can certain Merzbow stuff. In fact, I urge you to play Jeck with the lights off in your room at 2:00 am. Tell me if that doesn't make you feel a little bit queasy.
