So in my psychology class my teacher has us do a beginning of the class "meditation" in which we listen to music to relax. The length of the music should be within 2-5 minutes (with some extreme ones that are like 7 minutes on occasion) and can't have any sort of words.

I wanna know some cool stuff to listen to. I've been trolling the class lately (since few care to suggest anything usually, although not always) by playing some... erm... interesting music

Like literal trolling, trying to get a reaction out of people.

This is what I've played so far (will update as I remember more) in rough chronological order

This arrangement, a personal favorite of mine, was very well received and was pre-trolling.


By the last few seconds, everyone in the class was laughing so hard because it was so ironic and anti-climactic. Also the "quacking" set up a good "wtf"-factor. Teacher kept commenting how he needed a shirt


Please note that out of this set I chose to play "Like a sick eagle" which starts at 3:00 and ends at about 4:50.
I've shown ives to SEN, so it's obvious why I picked him for today and the next. I also showed the version with vocals after the fact because we had a minute for it, and I much prefer it. A friend of mine, a girl, was like "Oh hey I've sung this piece before! It's really hard to sing =x"


I got a chance to explain some of the philosophical ideas of the piece. It's also extremely dissonant and wtfage. Teacher enjoyed it, doubt the chil'uns did.


Nobody said anything apart from a few "what the hell..."s
I said that it was perfect for a video segment we were watching called The child of rage. It's really crazy, I'd totally recommend it.


I convinced her to watch this one, despite it being really long. The climax of this piece is literally so perfect that I start to breathe extremely heavily, uncontrollably. I know I posted this one already in a previous topic/shoutbox, but yeah, I like to share.


I've posted this one before as well, albeit awhile ago. I did it to troll the class. But I emphasized the moments of quotes that are humorous.

How is this forcing anyone to listen to anything?

He is playing music for his class. Derp.

Best relaxing music.

How 'bout something like this:

Oh wait, meditation music. I got nothing.

Listen to the last one I posted.

And the steve vai one.

I posted those to give you an idea what I was doing.

Oh, so you just want insanity? Let me have a look...

EDIT: There's always room for trumpets:

Most anything by Ulrich Schnauss. I most highly recommend Blumenthal.

Beautiful

YESSSSS

Sure, bring the midgits in!

Updated OP with some more recent ones. Is anyone actually listening to these? ;_;
