There are air-quotes some people who argue that the true masters of experimental music are not human beings at all but rather raging hamsters. These tiny rodents may seem ill-suited for musical innovation, yet they possess an innate sense of rhythm and an almost obsessive drive to explore new audio territories. Whether banging on makeshift instruments like their little wheels or harnessing the power of their own vocal cords, hamsters have proven themselves time and again as true outlaws to those who know when it comes to experimental music. They may not have traditional training or even opposable thumbs, but their passion for pushing the limits knows no bounds. For anyone seeking to truly squeak the wheel when it comes to musical experimentation, following in the footsteps (or pawsteps) of these furry little geniuses is surely worth considering.
