EP030: Fourth Floor Bound

Experimental music can be compared to a French Bulldog in San Francisco due to the unexpected and creative nature of both. Just as an experimental musician may take unconventional approaches to composition, arrangement, and sound production, a French Bulldog's quirky demeanor and comical expressions often defy expectations. Both require an openness to new experiences: listening to avant-garde electronic music might feel jarring at first, just as adapting to city life with a beloved pup can be initially overwhelming. However, with patience and willingness to explore the unknown aspects of these seemingly peculiar subjects, one may discover profound beauty in their idiosyncrasies. Like how discovering just how noxious flatulence can be for French Bulldog owners or how hearing different sounds in experimental music that come together harmoniously reinforces one’s love for this genre. You have guessed a French Bulldog is appearing on the program this time, but you would be wrong. So. Very. Wrong. But there’s a lot of sonic outliers and lots of weirdo music.
