Fyxámian classical music

From its Talman, Bjeheondian and Txapoallian roots, Fyxám developed a unique musical tradition.

Common instruments include the isomorphic keyboard and guitar, as well as traditional Talman, Bjeheondian and Naquian instruments.

Fyxámian classical music employs complex rhythmic patterns, polyrhythms, and syncopations, inspired by Bjeheondian music. It also uses expressive dissonance liberally, reminiscent of jazz music. It prefers equal temperaments such as 22-EDO, which are better suited for fixed-pitch instruments.

Later Fyxámian composers would use Impressionism-like techniques.

Figures

• Smrehtaið Awvliam developed most of regular temperament theory, and is often called the founder of Fyxámian classical music. Awvliam went to Chdam Sre, Amphir to study under Scutzis. Awvliam is often held to be responsible for the bifurcation between Talman and Fyxámian musical traditions.
• Jamon Sewvore was a contemporary of Awvliam, and invented the isomorphic keyboard, called the sewvore in Eevo.
• Tleeç Bwsað was an Impressionist composer who almost exclusively used EDOs.
• Segin Þwhgad: "Tolkien of music" (inventing musical cultures for conworlds); composer of film music, video game music, musical dramas and fictional music.

Modern popular music

Some genres of popular music include:

• Lighter fare: JI scales built from the harmonic series - pick a number with lots of factors, use that as the denominator for your JI intervals. [Mike Sheiman]
  • Minimalism
• "Prog rock/metal": Many popular musicians borrow heavily from classical idioms such as: long, quasi-operatic song forms; use of classical JI tunings and harmony; complex rhythms, time signatures and tunings inspired by non-Talman music.
  • "Nerd music": often with sci-fi-themed lyrics; more "exotic" musically.
• "Baroque chiptune": a style inspired by old video games: Uses meantone temperament more often
• Film and video game music: Overlaps somewhat with modern classical music.

Tuning systems

Modern composers often work with various equal temperaments. Some favorite equal temperaments are 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 22, 27, 31, 41, 46, 53, 58, 72, 87.
