Music

Instruments

One common style of Idosian music is polyphonic vocal music. Also common are fixed pitch instruments such as harpsichords, organs and marimbas.

Tuning

The dominant tuning system used in Idosian music is 19-tone equal temperament, which is a meantone tuning like our 12-tone equal temperament (i.e. four perfect fifths are equated to an approximate 5/4 ratio).

It partially traces its origins from folk Idosian music which involves singing in the pentatonic (the black keys on a piano) and diatonic scales.

Periods in Idosian music:

• Long Renaissance~Baroque period
• 19-TET was easy to tune while allowing specifically 19-TET stuff: pseudo-slendro and 9-note scales generated by half-fourths, bluesy stuff, allowing fine chromatic steps
