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.
The Awvliamites
Later Fyxámian composers would use Impressionism-like or serialist techniques.
Neoclassicism

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.
