Can anybody recommend me some orchestral/classical music that is discordant, dissonant, cacophonous, bombast or otherwise experimental? Bonus if it's non-contemporary. Thanks!

Bela Bartok
Charles Ives
Arnold Schoenberg
Stockhausen
John Cage
Start there, that's enough listening right there for a month.
Expand from there.
Expanding on OP's request, who are some composers that utilize non traditional instruments?

The dude who wrote ionization
Any percussion composer after 1930s
>>61914376
Yeah I quite like all of them, especially Varése (Ionisation guy). I was thinking more along the lines of Lou Harrison

OP here, thanks for the replies, everybody. For those who post composer names, if you could also list specific works/symphonies/albums (if that applies) that would be greatly appreciated, thanks again.
>>61914431
Certainly unique, thanks

Woah this guy seems cool as shit
Gesualdo (16th century)

No one was this dissonant or chromatic until Wagner, 300 years later.

>spoonfeed me, the thread
>>61914597
What exactly is wrong with asking for help from those who may be more knowledgable? People recommend things that I would miss or not find on my own all the time. It's ok to ask for help anon

How about Chopin
>>61914681
He wasn't. Chopin was very safe with his harmony. He didn't even get to Bach-level of dissonance or modulation.

Damn, that's some old stuff you got there.

16th Century microtonal music.
The 20th century had some very experimental stuff after impressionism.
Posting some Russolo

Shit is catchy after some time.

Stockhausen is a must. Some spoopy stuff

Edgard Varèse.

Literally Reddit: the Symphony. Seriously though pretty cool stuff.

Anything musique concrete, electroacoustic, futurist composers (see Russolo above)

This is really neat :-)
>>61915054
I wasn't aware that those genres fell under classical
I do love Varése, Ferrari, and Cage though.
I only knew of Futurism as an art movement. I will check that out for sure.
Roslavets' "Komsomoliya" fits all of those descriptions

Nikolai Obukhov was also extremely experimental in the early 20th century and he was the first composer to use electronic instruments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOTRsrk5rH8
Sorabji is also notable

I'm pretty sure Solage did dissonant stuff in the late 14th - early 15th centuries.
>>61914140
Experimental has a different meaning when applied to the context of art music.
