    Only thing I can think of is Aquarela do Brasil, but that's only because of Terry Gilliam...

            Gustav Janouch interviewed Kafka who talked passionately about music but not specific music.

            However, being from Central Europe at the turn of the century, it's likely he was talking about the composers Smetana and Dvořak.

              I have no idea what you mean by that, but I really like the song Metamorphosis by Infinity Song.

                Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was heavily inspired by Kafka and quoted him constantly. Maybe the game's soundtrack has something you might be looking for. https://archive.org/details/resident-evil-revelations-2-ost

                    Intriguing question. Still thinking here but this may help others sort through their mental jukeboxes...

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka#"Kafkaesque"

                    Boils down to:
                    "Kafka's quintessential qualities are affecting use of language, a setting that straddles fantasy and reality, and a sense of striving even in the face of bleakness—hopelessly and full of hope."

                    First thought: Pink Floyd The Wall.....
                    .....

                      If I'm going for an unsettling bleakness maybe slow noir jazz like bohren and der club of gore, or something faster and jarring maybe clown core, or just esoteric and made to be unapproachable like infant annihilator or knocked loose
