Fyxámian classical music
From its Talman, Bjeheondian and Txapoallian roots, Fyxám developed a unique musical tradition.
Common instruments include various traditional Talman and Bjeheondian instruments.
Vaguely Wilsonian tunings + Bjeheondian rhythms + Naquian theatrics
Populism
In the modern period, Fyxámian art music took a sharp populist turn. Conventional wisdom holds that Capr Dooac is responsible for much of this. As a result, modern Fyxám has much less of a divide between popular music and art music than modern Western culture.
Neoclassicism
In modern times, Neoclassicism emerged as a dissident movement in both Fyxám and Talma (in Fyxám, as a reaction to Populism; in Talma, as a reaction to hyper-academic music).

Modern music
Some genres of modern 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
- Film and video game music: Overlaps somewhat with Fyxámian classical music.
Figures
