I seem to have trained my immunity to various noises by listening to industrial and assorted avantgarde music for twenty years. Now MRI noise doesn’t irritate me, construction outside sometimes sounds like some tunes I’d listen to, and I have once thought that the muffler in the car fell off until I paused the audio. The latter became one of my favorite albums since then.
Oooh! What is the album? I’m a sad fool for noise-as-music. The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation and Black Boned Angel are some of my favorite backgrounds.
Btw, I listened to some of Black Boned Angel. Quite oldschool, reminiscent of old funeral doom and generally extremely slow doom and drone. I’m guessing you will like Black Vomit. You might dig these too:
I meant to reply the other day but, well, everything is a distraction.
I checked out Black Vomit and really enjoyed it! That’s the kind of noise-as-music that I like. It is equally background and foreground; melts into my environment while I’m focusing on something else, but interesting and attention-grabbing in the moments when my focus waivers. Excellent recommendation, thank you!
I wrote down your jazz recommendations and am slowly getting to them (lately I haven’t been much in the mood for jazz, but the mood always comes back around eventually). Free Lancing was a hell of a ride, and I loved every track. Shared it with a friend of mine who also likes experimental/eccentric guitar-focused music and they also liked it. I’ll add your other recommendations to the list and will definitely give them a listen in the coming weeks. Thanks again! :)
One of these days I might post a dump of all jazz-metal I gathered over the years, where ‘Free Lancing’ would be a starting point. If you want, I could ping you when I post.

Buried at Sea, particularly ‘Demo’
Stabat Mater — you’ll have to search YouTube for more releases, I don’t think they’re on any other services
Maybe Funeral
On the dark-jazz side:
Fugu Quintet
Granule’s ‘Pain, Ritual & Life’
Maybe compilations by Signora Ward Records — the label mostly releases noise, but also has these dark-jazz compilations
Dick Tracy’s ‘Tokyo-Ga soundtrack’

I regret to inform that The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is boring to me for some reason, even though I like dark jazz.
The album I mentioned is Black Vomit’s ‘Jungle Death’.
Of jazz, I prefer stuff like James ‘Blood’ Ulmer’s ‘Free Lancing’, Trevor Dunn’s Trio Convulsant, Lanzallamas, Cecil Taylor, Needle Play, Zu’s ‘Carboniferous’, Le Scrawl, and Last Exit.
