Not really idm, but one of the creepiest recordings I've heard of late is
Gavin Bryar's _The Sinking of the Titanic_(Point). This piece is mostly a
string quartet playing over and over the song that the band played as the
Titanic sank with various sounds and treatments mixed in. Some of the stuff
going on:
-wood blocks playing some of the morse code sent out as the ship sank.
-excerpts of interviews with the survivors.
-"watery" sound treatment added to the strings as the ship sinks
A really beautiful and haunting recording. Highly recommended.
Another disturbing piece is _Absinthe_ by Naked City (Avant). Listening tho
this was a very unsettling experience for me, but it may have been because I
spent the entire disc tensed, waiting for the typical Naked City noise
assault to come (it never does).
