Music
Avian music tends to emphasize harmony, rhythm and timbre much more than melody, which most in-universe sapient passerines consider a part of language instead. Much of avian music is based on chord-scale theory. In songs, the melody is considered part of the lyrics and the melodies follow the chord-scale the music is currently in (most passerine languages are tonal and some even require producing two notes at once). Both harmonic and inharmonic timbres may be used.
- Most early recorded bird musical traditions are overtone singing and other timbral singing traditions demanding the various timbral nuances the avian syrinx is capable of.
- Primodality: In-universe, primodality is invented by a bird uplift; birds use primodality to impart colors to chord-scales and sung dyad phonemes.
- There is also a bird culture that uses soundscapes made by non-ji/inharmonic/pseudo-JI chords.
