The link above is of a recording of experimental sounds called Blue Veils and Golden Sounds by Delia Derbyshire who worked in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Delia composed this piece for a documentary on the Tuaregs.
I found this piece very interesting for its strange, haunting sound but also its beautiful kind of flow throughout it. She began with the sound of an industrial green metal lampshade being struck which is then taken apart with workshop sound equipment to be looped and woven back together. She referred to this sound as "castrated oboe". Also you can hear her voice after being cut-up and re-sampled so its very unrecognizable. I only noticed this when I did my research on this piece.
I think this will be helpful in my project as its inspired me to try and make layers within my sound that will in a way challenge the listener to find these separate layers. I also like this sound as its a very simple piece with these certain subtle depths to it that will echo through the listener even after listening to it.
