Anxiety / dissociation music

Music that evokes feelings of unease, anxiety, terror, discomfort. Lots of drone music as I associate quite a bit of it with this feeling - I'm confident I could've filled the entire chart with more drone / noise. Idea came whilst relistening to Radio Amor.

Also, I have a weird ambivalence towards a lot of these where I can simultaneously find them calming and terrifying. Drowner by Yellow Swans is an album that I've put on to dissociate to or relax to, just turning it up on my speakers and lying face-down in my bed. It's calming in the way that ambient music can be...it's like an evil version of ambient music actually.

This incunabule (incunabulum) which was printed in Cologne in c. 1477, belonged to the collection of Robert Ashley (1565-1641). It is a biographical compendium of Church fathers and a history of the early Church. The printed initials are illustrated by hand with these comical figures. This mimics the way manuscripts were produced, a practice that continued beyond the advent of printing in circa 1450.
