Fyxoomian classical music

From the fusion of Talman, Bjeheondian and Txapoallian roots arose a uniquely Fyxoomian tradition of classical music.

Common instruments include various traditional Talman and Bjeheondian instruments - namely various acoustic violins, guitars, trombones, and drums.

Vaguely Wilsonian tunings + Bjeheondian rhythms + Naquian theaterism

Modern music

In the modern period, Fyxoomian art music took a sharp populist turn. Conventional wisdom holds that the composer Cabr Golac, with his band A Þlaih Dawl, is responsible for this "Populist" movement. As a result of the Populist movement, modern Fyxoom has much less of a divide between popular music and art music than modern Western culture. More classical influences exist in more "specialized music" but music academics tend to be (literal) rock stars.

Instruments

Modern music often uses amplified violins, cellos, guitars, organs, and various drums, as well as electronic isomorphic keyboards.

Styles

Some genres of modern music include:

• "Fyxoomian rock" is a genre that developed out of Fyxoomian folk music and Bjeheondian Tanquahdj, among other things.
• Minimalism
• "Baroque chiptune": a style inspired by old video game music and classical music
• "Prog rock/metal" borrows heavily from classical idioms such as: long, quasi-operatic song forms; use of classical JI tunings such as tonality diamonds, cross-sets, CPS's and constant structures.
• "Nerd music": often with science- or sci-fi-themed lyrics; more "exotic" musically.
• Film and video game music: Overlaps somewhat with Fyxoomian classical music.

Tuning

Modern Fyxoomian popular music (by extension, modern popular music globally) tends to use simple JI scales built from the harmonic series - a highly divisible number like 24, 36, 48, or 60 is used as the common denominator for the JI intervals in the scale. Otherwise, free JI is used. JI intervals may be approximated with other JI intervals (for example, 25/16 ≈ 14/9), but the identifications are not necessarily systematic as in regular temperament theory. Quarter-comma meantone is also a common tuning for acoustic instruments.

Sometimes, especially in electronic music, other simple tempered scales such as 5edo, 7edo, 9edo, and the mavila heptatonic/nonatonic are used.

Figures

• Honan Đawhindøø was a composer who studied in Talma during the late Classical period. He helped continue and further develop the tradition of Classical-style JI music in Fyxoom.
• Bjeongsun Glahdu was a Fyxoomian classical composer.
• Cabr Golac (stage name A Þlaih Dawl) was a Populist composer who formed Tricin's first "rock band".
• Smrehtaið Awvliam was a music theorist who founded the Prycþéŋ lly Fryndu Jytylisríx (Society for Experimental Music). He is responsible for the concept of harmonic entropy.
• Segin Þwhgad was a "Tolkien of music" who invents musical cultures for conworlds. He was a composer of film music, video game music, musical dramas and fictional music.

Neoclassicism

In modern times, Neoclassicism emerged as a dissident movement in both Fyxoom and Talma (in Fyxoom, as a reaction to the perceived "shallowness" of Populism; in Talma, as a reaction to hyper-academic music).

Notation

Fyxoomian music uses the Talman Helmholtz-Ellis notation. Tablature is common for guitars and similar instruments.
