I like making weird noise music involving samples. Some of my favorites have been sample CDs from the 90s, and using archive.org to look through PSAs and old news broadcasts. But it's really difficult finding anything good in the piles of just...local community radio and the mountains of college lectures. I like finding stuff that's really eerie or odd, like that one recording of that time the US tried scaring the Viet Cong with scary ghost noises (which didn't work lmao :uncle-ho-2: )

Does anyone else have a more streamlined approach or do any of y'all have any favorite media that's esoteric/creepy?

    I want to recommend UbuWeb, which is an archive of mostly avant-garde art and theory. There's a lot of early electronic music and 60s performance art on there, but also speeches by Soviet and other Marxist intellectuals. It's maybe not all that eerie, but I feel like it's a lot of stuff that's already interesting on its own.
