Fyxámian classical music
From the fusion of its Talman, Bjeheondian and Txapoallian roots resulted a uniquely Fyxámian tradition of classical music.
Common instruments include various traditional Talman and Bjeheondian instruments - namely various acoustic violins, guitars, trombones, and drums.
Vaguely Wilsonian tunings + Bjeheondian rhythms + Naquian theaterism
Modern music
In the modern period, Fyxámian art music took a sharp populist turn. Conventional wisdom holds that the composer Capr Golac, with his band A Þlaih Dawl, is responsible for this "Populist" movement. As a result of the Populist movement, modern Fyxám has much less of a divide between popular music and art music than modern Western culture.
Some genres of modern music include:
- Lighter fare
- Minimalism
- "Baroque chiptune": a style inspired by old video games
- "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.
- Film and video game music: Overlaps somewhat with Fyxámian classical music.
Tuning
Modern Fyxámian popular music (by extension, modern popular music globally) tends to use simple JI scales built from the harmonic series - a highly divisible number like 24, 36, or 48 is used as the common denominator for the JI intervals in the scale. Otherwise, free JI is used. JI intervals may be approximated with other JI intervals, but the identifications are not necessarily systematic as in regular temperament theory.

Neoclassicism
In modern times, Neoclassicism emerged as a dissident movement in both Fyxám and Talma (in Fyxám, as a reaction to the perceived "lack of depth" of Populism; in Talma, as a reaction to hyper-academic music).
Notation
Fyxámian music uses the Talman Helmholtz-Ellis notation. Tablature is common for guitars and similar instruments.
