Hi there, my name is Dane Bridges and welcome to my podcast! Here I'll talk about pretty much anything that's on my mind or my friends minds. This is where I come to get my deep thoughts and discussions out in light of this very new and different time of social distancing. Some episodes may just be me rambling for a bit while some may be me myself or me and my friends discussing a specific topic. Whichever one that ends up being, I hope to provide listeners with generally relatable and or insightful content of varying topics. Thank you so much for tuning in! Take care.

Episode #8 - Understanding Instrumental Storytelling.

In this episode I talk about how stories can be told through pieces of music without the use of lyrics or vocal melodies. This is a concept that is rarely talked about and most commonly utilized by instrumental bands with the creative goal to tell a story or take listeners on a journey (especially within the genre of post-rock). Below is a link to the one other mention of storytelling without lyrics by composer, Xueran Chen (The only public mention that I have seen about the concept). Also listed below are all of the albums I mention in this episode that have utilized instrumental Storytelling to the best I've heard.
