Mine are one-man projects:
Superluminal Pachyderm - prog rock project composed on computer (had a couple collaborations on my Prum and Sea of Peas albums, but the rest is just me); active since 1999; 9 albums; working on a new album right now; not sure how I would describe it... kinda weird stuff, sort of a mix of neo prog, space rock, avant-garde, and maybe Thomas Dolby??

Amalgamated Hippopotamus - an electronic experiment that deconstructs recordings from the above project; active since 2019; 5 albums

No, it's a Jimi Hendrix song.

Awesome! I LOVE Alexander Ostwestfalen! and Poets and Murderers! What types of muzak?

Ay, missed that question. A former member sells old Alexander von Ostwestfalen stuff on bandcamp,
https://hotelencore.bandcamp.com/album/anemone-nemorosa
however I think we were very young and mostly not very good (although we didn't realise that at the time).
Poeten and Murder have some stuff on soundcloud, there is some proggy stuff there (I push proggy and instrumental stuff more, my music partner is a more melodic quirky art rock/pop lover).
https://soundcloud.com/poeten-und-moerder
Funex is free improvisation based on noises and sounds, probably not your taste, There's a bit on my other bandcamp site, and one by Wale denken leise (which is a strongly Martyn Bates influenced singer/guitarist and me doing arrangements and some other instruments for him, around 1990; actually right now we do a new internet collaboration piece together):

Cream Egg
Moondaze
Syntax
Harry Reptile
Eleanor Rigby
Fatal Error
Drop Zone
The Armchair Advocates

And a few others where names were changed so often that the band(s) eventually fell apart because no one could agree on anything..

Here's the Cream Egg Song on Bandcamp.  This dates back to 1975 although it was recorded in 2013.  Needs re-recording I think...

Thanx! Just noticed there is another Blind Pilots at the moment, founded in 2018. Also one troubadour name "Blind Pilot". Our band was in 1992-96, we were playing some kind of stoner thing (bands main songwriter liked a lot that time bands like Monster Magnet, Kyuss etc.). I played bass and sang few of my songs. Originally band name was Dischord, but I quess there was a same name band that time so band leader wanted to change name into BP.

At least the leader thought to check!  There are so many repeats of band names, even still.  As you doubtless know, there are repeats from way back in the day such as UK and US Kaleidoscope band names.  And of course, from younger people who may not know of early bands with the same name now, but they should know to check the internet these days.
...and there was also Caribbean Kaleidoscope in the same time! UK Kaleidoscope has been my favorite of those. Also Nirvana already existed in the UK at sixties...today bands just seem not care about having same name. There are Howling Brothers in the US and I would have wanted to change our bluestrio name because of that, but my brother said "why change, almost every my earlier band name were duplicates..."

Limpid Green
Bat Lenny
The Square Foot Facility
At the time we picked Limpid Green it was the mid 70s and the Syd Barrett version of Pink Floyd was practically unheard of here so it was a pretty obscure phrase. We were 16. Made awful noises. Revived it about 10 years ago, improved a bit.
Bat Lenny came about when somebody tried saying Jack Benny and it came out wrong.
The Square Foot Facility didn’t last long but I liked the name.

Some names that were suggested back in school for our ‘band’ -
A Noise Annoys (yeah, good one Smitz, wherever you are....)
Fretboard Abacus - though every time we jammed it would be something else.

and the current project I’m sometimes involved with - Eyes of Etherea.

Dark Secret (my first band in high school, the 80s)
The Ice Water Blues Outfit (a college thing)
The Blue Sign Factory (a duo, also originated in college, and has continued off-and-on to the present day. 2 albums on Bandcamp that I’m very proud of)
Hell (me and my keyboardist friend improvising original songs during breqks from college)
Lexus Test Drive (basically me and my friend getting stoned in the late 90s and making up crazed songs& skits)
Rare Goat (an actual band for which I sing & play guitar. Latest was a music video for “Rocket Launch Caroline”)
My other avatar is a Porsche

I believe there have been some other "projects" that were so short haven´t got names. Flamin Rollators and Howlin Bros still exists.

Some good ones in there! I especially like Vomit Blues Band, Blind Pilots and Azma! (I like humor.)
Not sure, was Azma originally humor at all (I wasn´t at first in it), I think it was kind of contortion about Asthma. But anyway the band members haven´t ever been absolutely serious (it´s a punk band). Vomit Blues Band came when one of our band member was vomiting after drinking too much (it was not me).

Great word plays! I feel as if I've heard of Youth in Asia. Is this possible?
Your stylistic forays have been quite diverse!
 
Youth in Asia was used a couple of times actually, about the same time as we were using it.  There was a punk band with that name and also a no wave band. 
 
Our version of it was 7 of us that were majoring in Broadcasting at the University and we played locally mostly.  This was around 1979.

Celestial Asylum  - Still Active. Genre: Prog-power metal (We released a demo in 2004, and are working on our first full-length album.)
Knightmare - Active but with another vocalist. Genre: Heavy/power metal (We released a full-length album.)
Outland - Not active anymore. Genre: hard & heavy (We did some covers generally in hard & heavy style: Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Skid Row, Iron Maiden etc.)

Love your names--especially Demonster and Celestial Asylum! Clever!
