Excellent mutant footwork. Or maybe it has mutated already past that genre's demarcation lines. Funny as all his work, too.
Notes on music - to aid my memory. So much music flows past my ears that I keep forgetting all of it in ten minutes. So these are things I might want to revisit.

Animal Wife by Pinnel
https://tqzine.bandcamp.com/album/animal-wife
A woman's voice, going from quiet and calm to crazy, looped and overlaid. So lovely and inspiring!

The Doll and Yol - Be Like Water
https://yolnoise.bandcamp.com/album/be-like-water-the-doll-yol
This is such adorable primitive noise improv. I wanna do this, too, but it would upset my cats and neighbours.

Répons by Pierre Boulez
Such tension in those pauses, constantly poised on the brink of aggression, never quite descending into chaos. I love serialism and its brethren.
Posset - Nine Copper Rods
https://posset.bandcamp.com/album/nine-copper-rods
Posset has released another album of dictaphone improv and it is lovely as always.

Dokaka vocalising 21st Century Schizoid Man
Finally found a version of 21st Century Schizoid Man that I like. Ahem. I shall borrow some of this guy's ideas. As soon as I find my voice again. It tends to crawl off and hide when I forget to use it for weeks. My cats are not much for conversation...

Fishing vessel "Havet" - 55 HP hot bulb Hundested engine
Engine noise videos are one of my favourite music genres. This one tuck tucks along in a calm manner with interspersed washes of engine room close-ups. Lovely.

I want to sing like that, too. Let's hope the neighbours don't mind.

Pure by TRANSVIRTUAL TIDAL BEING 0003
https://blackringrituals.com/album/pure
Nice, feathery noise. Sounds a lot like my System-8.
Funnier, more detailed analysis:

Go-Go!
I keep forgetting how much I enjoy Washington D.C. go-go. That hammering drums and congas beat. And that the style has never spread beyond its home town over all the decades of its existence. A rare flower rooted in its own little ecosystem.
Maybe I'll spend the rest of the week digging through Youtube for go-go. Especially the newer variety that doubles down on the hammering.

Jittery, improvised sound collage with interesting pauses. A pause is interesting and perhaps tense when you can't predict when it will end. Some day, I will make music with pauses in it... Yeah right.

A subway turned into atmospheric music

Nicely processed samples of a New York subway ride (below the original field recording).

Paulstretching
The X Lives of Paul, a compilation of Paulstretch applications:
https://girlygirlmusik.bandcamp.com/album/the-x-lives-of-paul
This is surprisingly listenable, as I thought I was tired of the Paulstretch effect. Plenty of variety in these approaches.

Long Read Memories by Whettman Chelmets

One minute in: This is really good and I'm learning things. Floating sound collage.
A much more thorough and well written review on I Heart Noise:

Czech metal - Svizel
https://svizel.bandcamp.com/
I don't listen to much metal, so who knows if this is outstanding. It is sort of atmospheric, though. It hammers while floating in the air.

Quite lovely noise collage sliding its way through my brain. Rich selection of sounds.
Ooze Sleaze - Night of The Canines (20XX) BRAZILLIAN POST PUNK [FULL EP]
Well named band. Does exactly what it says on the cover. Pulsing and oozing guitars and voice. Found on https://yeahiknowitsucks.wordpress.com/2020/01/06/ooze-sleaze-night-of-the-canines/ who put much more effort into appreciating music than I do.
Teemu Korpipää - Raskas joulu
https://teemukorpipaa.bandcamp.com/album/raskas-joulu
Oh, I just noticed that I hadn't listened to the second part of this. The first is MASSIVELY heavy metal improv while the second meanders along amusingly. Guitar doing improv, drums in the background and voices and noises cutting in here and there. Lovely.

Suburbia After Dark
by Princess Commodore 64
https://midnightpinballtapes.bandcamp.com/album/suburbia-after-dark
Apparently this is what vaporwave sounds like today. The one thing I like about the genre is this hint of nihilism: Hello, we're here to annoy you.
The artist's name will annoy those who expect proper 8 bit bleepery. This doesn't sound like any SID chips were invited to the party.
Kompleksi vs. Citizen Omega - Betrayal (2020)
Erkki Rautio, Mr Phinnweb, has a unique voice. Glad to see him singing again. The music could have been made at any point during the past four decades. Bleep boop boop.
Boom Bip & Doseone / cLOUDDEAD - Peel Sessions (Live at Maida Vale) [Ful...
Guilty secret: I never listen to the words of anything. And I still love rappers. Underground hip hop was a lovely thing two decades ago. Quick googling says these guys are still active. Must look into that some day. Or forget, as there are so many music links passing my eyeballs these days...
