Life

Prăfin was born and raised in the city of Bălang in Talma, he was invited to study music in Palkha at 12 by Yăchef rith Sămtsay, a composer who gained notoriety in Talma for ???. Four years later he got a scholarship to go to Bjeheond and study its culture, mythology and music.

Prăfin disliked modern Talman music, 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, Sgutsis, and Drjangdhae, and theoretical constructs such as regular temperaments. As a reaction to these trends, Prăfin became an exponent of the Expressionist (placeholder name) movement in Talma. His later works were inspired by various traditional musics all over Tricin, including Dodellia and Txapoalli. He's also one of the most prolific non-Fyxoomian composers for the aġġiakkātą.
