Experimental music's fixation on the occult stems from its inherent fascination with the mysterious, esoteric, and unexplored aspects of human existence. Just as the occult delves into hidden knowledge and alternative spiritual practices, experimental music seeks to challenge conventional musical boundaries and tap into realms beyond the ordinary. By incorporating occult symbolism, rituals, and themes, experimental musicians aim to evoke a sense of mysticism, transcendence, and connection with the unknown. The occult provides a rich tapestry of symbolism and mythology that fuels the experimental music's desire to explore uncharted territories, push boundaries, and invoke transformative experiences, ultimately inviting listeners to embark on a sonic journey of self-discovery and expanded consciousness.
