Todo

Life

Prăfin was born and raised in the city of Rǎ'ac Thea in Wen Dămea; he was invited to study music in Palkha at 12 and got a scholarship to go to Bjeheond and study Bjeheondian music.

Făb-Bălang disliked modern Talman music for its elitism - and by extension, everything since the Romantic period, since he saw the whole tradition as encouraging elitism. He disapproved of major Talman composers such as Sáengeor, Skéucis, and Djangdae, and theoretical constructs such as regular temperaments. As a reaction to these trends, făb-Bălang became an exponent of the Neoclassical movement in Talma.
