what's the least repetitive musician you know? for some reason all music i know is repetitive. for most of a song you can guess what's going to be the next sound. it's really shitty. i'm sure someone could make a great set of songs without being repetitive but musicians seem to be lazy/dumb/unmotivated as heck

Free Jazz and avant-garde jazz


Free jazz is less repetitive but avant-garde jazz is better

This is the least repetitive rock song I could think of:

Realistically, free jazz is the least repetitive.

Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, Frank Zappa, hell some of the shit Todd Rundgren and Captain Beefheart do.

Stockhausen said repetition is for fags

that one om album that feels like a new song every fucking 15 seconds

you're really not understanding what i mean. at least captain beefheart and zappa and coltrane are repetitive

good quality breakcore sometimes can be pretty much completely nonrepetetive

If you compared the first album to their last you wouldn't even know it was the same band

Not that guy but
Coltranes later stuff is not repetitive at all and in comparison to most music much of his middle period isn't repetitive

stay pleb

>>65426304
Free jazz, Free Improvision and some noise music is the best I can think, just listen to some of the entry level albums/musicians in those genres

well Anthony Fantano said Arca's "Mutant" was pretty unexpectable so....

See >>65426197, modern classical tends to avoid repetition (unless of course it's minimalist, then it's nothing BUT repetition). Try any major from the last 100 years that's not Glass or Reich or Riley or Part etc etc.
>>
>>65425973
>all music i know is repetitive
Because there has to be a balance between repetition and new ideas, cohesion is what makes a piece enjoyable and memorable.

Listen to Schoenberg's serial pieces if you hate repetition so much.
Better yet, just listen to the sounds of nature.

In terms of lyrics the least repetitive musician I know is King Missile. But in terms of sound I would say Lemon Demon or They might be giants.
>>
>>65426475
Yea dude, I mean fuck you. Basically in order to circumvent this prediction stuff you're going to have to venture out into serialism, indeterminacy, or literal nature sounds. Anything based on tonal harmony is somehow teasing you for resolution. What you want is not something real! Also I don't mean 'fuck you'

Nature sounds are hella repetitive. Have you noticed that birdsong and insect sounds both consist of the same shit over and over? And listening to rivers and rain and wind and stuff like that, it's like the same texture for hours on end. And even when you cut out all other sound, you hear the sound of your heartbeat at regular, unchanging intervals, over and over and over. Repetition is the most natural thing in the world, so for non-repetition you'd have to turn to UNnatural sounds.
>>
>>65425973
if what you are saying is not been able to predict where The song goes next then I reccomend these

The microphones - Mount Eerie
Death grips - niggas on The Moon
>>
>>65426839
Despite the repetitive bits, the sounds of nature are incredibly dynamic. Bird songs are continually moving in and out of hearing range, fading in and out of the mix. Sudden sounds interrupt others. Nature is always in motion, which creates something that cannot repeat.

Minimalism the genre ya dingus. It uses repetitive bits of music that slowly morph and phase shift over time.

Your eardrum doesn't stop resonating when there's nobody playing. In silence you are still aware of sound, and you are never more aware of that sound that you are when you're listening to 4'33". In that sense, 4'33" is a composition that consists of a single "sound" being played over and over. In the past, when composers wanted that "sound" to be played, they would insert a Grand Pause into their music, notated with G.P. on all staves. And it would have the same effect, making the audience aware of the "sound" of silence, often as a contrast to overwhelmingly non-silent sounds that came before. 4'33" is then just an extended Grand Pause, as a contrast to the din of life on Earth.

In that sense, yes it is quite repetitive, since it's just one texture repeated for 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
