Early life and education

Later life

Shortly after receiving his doctorate, Þwhgad abandoned research mathematics. At first he sustained himself by teaching or tutoring math and music, and occasionally by selling his compositions. He started corresponding with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. These discussions, as well as explorations of non-Etalocian musical traditions, would inspire him to further develop the music theory at that time. These ideas were distilled into a treatise that was published in fT 2275.

In fT 2280, an academic took notice of Þwhgad's work on music theory and invited him to serve in the University of Vahgo as a professor of music. He accepted the offer and would continue to teach there for 20 years. Among his students were several notable "modern era" Fyxámian composers and popular musicians.

In fT 2300, Þwhgad retired from his academic post and secluded himself, intending to focus solely on composition. He lived in a house in Sŋooron until he died of a stroke in fT 2316. (age 75)
