Sounds to me that you are looking for the reckless abandon prevalent in free and/or avant-garde jazz!
I prefer this type of jazz(listener since 1975) because you never know what's coming next. A good place to start would be Marshall Allen's - Sun Ra & his Arkestra. Heavy free jazz and themes of outer space music.
Check out Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz, John Coltrane - A Love Supreme, Art Ensemble of Chicago - Full Force, Carla Bley Orchestra- Escalator Over the Hill, and Anthony Braxton(anything or The Berlin /Montreux Concerts.. if you can find it). These are just a few but enough to get you started. The sound is at times wild,eratic, unstructured and " all over the place ".,,,a veritable feast for the ears !
There are also some free jazz/avant-garde jazz vocalists but start with the music I mentioned above. I researched the difference between free and avant-garde jazz and there's really no difference in either type as far as I could ascertain.
Let me know what you think of free jazz ! I am always willing to talk jazz and recommend artists.

Coleman, Coltrane, AEC
