Now onto the other half of what I listen to:
Noise!
Noise existed before, and helped to develop electronic music. In it's purest form, noise is the elemental ingredient of all music. I find it exhilarating and therapeutic - largely void of structure it allows you to focus on anything while playing it in the background.
Experimental noise is usually a sub-genre of electronic music, and under it are many styles, namely drone / ambient (more synth-based), and
'musique concrete', which is a French term for collages of real world field recordings. Unbound to any of the 'rules' of music, the possibilities are as infinite as the imagination itself - or even random computer code. Welcome to this vast
sonic exploration.
