Was thinking from OP's post elsewhere that Stuart Chalmers probably fits the bill st times. The comment about drones, chimes etc is right on as he definitely uses these things live but there are many works that seem based on simply letting 2 or more found/field recorded cassettes run in tandem. Much prefer this aspect of his work to when he messes about with delays and goes all psychedelic. Try the Imaginary Musics series (I think it's called that)

Chris Watson ¬ BJ Nilsen - Storm
Chris Watson – Weather Report

Chris Watson first came to mind when I read "collage" "layered" "field recordings" and "non music", but I hesitated because I thought that would be too literal. Or too naturist-recordist documentarian. The cuts are so non-obstrusive as to appear perfectly organic. Thus the safe suggestion of more angular cut-up stuff from John Watermann et al. But the above weather recordings might provide a good bridge. Storms obviously bring their own narrative drama, and pitch, and the general flavor of white-flecked spittle might appeal to those of a noisier inclination. What the Weather Report lacks in drama and overall tension it makes up for in legit sense of dour-faced, buttoned-down composition. Only the occasional moment that'll jump out at you, but dense with fine texture. Benefits greatly from very LOUD sound system.

This Christine Groult thing seems to fit the bill and is pretty enjoyable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs4o0jdNZjQ

s.isabella is a memorable project of this persuasion. a blend of varied recording sources and harsh sounds like a 'journey' style with many asides and regressions. not zany or scatalogical, quite playful and sly.

Strafe Fur Rebellion. Long running project that seems to enjoy showing off the range of unlikely sources used in the music. And music is the word.  Actually I often find their tendency to try to make proper songs out of the material slightly irritating, and not always in a good way. So maybe could qualify in the contemporary wtf category... less non music than non any kind of musicality likely to be encountered outside Planet Strafe FR. Still there are some great, and jarring, moments, odd juxtapositions often giving way to more settled pastorals...or not!  Luftunger may be the best known and best in general. Kinda Discovery Channel documentary soundtrack presentation. This opening track serves as a good intro overall, stick around for the first few minutes.

I would nevertheless approach the project with caution as there is much to avoid.

Still, the Vogel comp is worthwhile as are Ochsle and the radio play-like Der Säemann.

This is a wonderful and confusing album, Joseph Hammer is a real master, and while I wholeheartedly would call it collage. It deals more with music than anything else. However if you like this track down his cd on Art Into Life. It's a must.
