ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Chris Opperman believes music can—and should—be funny. From his tongue-in-cheek album Chamber Music from Hell to a set of 12-tone Cribbage Variations, he shows how humor and playfulness can open doors to deeper engagement with music. He shares how embracing wit, audience connection, and even chance operations has pushed him to expand his creative voice while making contemporary music feel more alive and inviting.
