I don't think wearisome or especially metaphysical.
Resonance FM is experimental in the sense that it does things that no radio station would ever do or has ever done. Sometimes those things work, sometimes they don't. It makes it a bit unpredictable, hit and miss... experimental even.
A fair and pretty good defence of 'experimental'.
My challenge would always be that experiment, by it's nature seeks to arrive somewhere - and those in perpetual experimentation (not interested in arriving at a conclusion) are doing so for ulterior motives (the most common being artistic positioning). I was always bored by artists who spent all their time telling us they were experimental and never sharing when the experiment had run it's course and the results of the experiment. I couldn't help thinking of this as experimental for experimental's sake, if you know what I mean, a conceit, a style.
But maybe I am being unfair and a bit of a bastard, it won't be the first time I have taken the seed of a conceit and buried it in my own issues. :)
And transcendental pleasure of bicycling, in the sense of "relating to a spiritual or nonphysical realm" is the closest I can get to what I am aiming for in making the show. It's not a show about how cycling is cheaper, more practical, faster, healthier, greener, more thrilling than other modes of tranport, though it does touch on all those things. Rather it tries to convey and celebrate the core and universal experiential quality of being self propelled on two wheels. I couldn't think of a more succint word than transcendental.
If that still sounds like metaphysical bullshit, maybe you could write me some better copy?

See above.
