Ever listened to Witchhouse? - A look on the Dark Side of Music - Audio Perception Psychology
Despite the fact I consider myself to be a rather positive human beeing I noticed that I am sometimes drawn towards the darker and more mysterious creations of some musicans and other artists out there. A  few years ago I stumbled upon a new subgenre of music called witch house. Despite the fact that most of them are way to harsh and noisy for my taste I really got fascinated by some of it's sounds.

*As a musician myself I also have been wondering if there actually can be something like "evil music"* 
 ( btw I am only talking about music **without vocals** )
Certainly music can influence your mood, your energy levels and your (current) perception of the world and your surroundings. So the assumption that there might be music that influences you in a bad way isn't far fetched. 
Although in my opinion the kind of energy you receive from the music you are listening to is mostly influenced by yourself and your projections towards the sounds, rythms and melodies you hear. Meaning one person might find a track (for example the ones I linked below) to be quite a downer, inducing negative thoughts and feelings. For me these tracks posses something mystical and actually make me feel curious about the outside world, filling me with energy to move and explore.
***So what is your take on the question whether sounds and (vocal-less) music can be evil in-itself?***

As a result of this phase I created my own track, although not as "dark" (or whatever you might call it) as most of the "real" witch-house out there (please start @ 1:20 because the intro is quite slow):

Here are some more dark frequencies (sounds more like some tribal witch-trance to me):

And one more track - I am actually blown away by its dark mood:

Please note as English is not my native language I am having trouble understanding his mumblings, if there is anything upsetting let me know but please don't be offended.  }:-)

Glad you like it. Aphex Twin most definitly, my girlfriend even knows how to play one of his tracks on piano. I will have a listen to Squarepusher, thanks for the suggestion.
