Unusual Music Guide A comprehensively assembled and frequently updated list of unusual, experimental and avant-garde music events coming up in Scotland. Under Construction

What is unusual music? It’s the kind of thing that you might read about in thewire.co.uk or thequietus.com, or that you might buy from monorailmusic.com or boomkat.com. More specifically, it’s things like ambient, avant-garde, breakcore, contemporary classical, computer music, kosmiche music, dark ambient, doom, drone, electro-acoustic composition, electronica, experimental, free improvisation, fr

ee jazz, IDM, improv, industrial, math rock, minimalism, musique concrète, new weird folk, noise, post-rock, psych, power electronics, punk-primitive, radiophonic, sound art, and other associated styles, including the more avant-garde bits of indie, rock, hip-hop, world/outernational and so on. How is this guide made? This guide is made by thoroughly and frequently researching venues, promoters and listings. We’re delighted to accept submissions (unusualmusicguide at gmail dot com) but we don’t rely on them. This means that the guide is very comprehensive and very accurate, even under the fluid conditions caused by the pandemic, and especially when compared to what you can find elsewhere

Who creates this guide? It’s created by Neil Simpson. Neil is an unusual and experimental musician based in Glasgow. He has created and performed strange music of various kinds internationally since 2003. He also composes for theatre, performance and film. He can be contacted via unusualmusicguide at gmail dot com or facebook.com/neilasimpson12.
