<poem> | |||
the music of clofabolocin is mostly centered on solo improvisation, exploring harmony, melody, and rhythm (instruments are divided into those three categories) | |||
or solo improvisation with narration à la Partch's Li Po lyrics | |||
clofabians love to play with technique, so with a spúith they do things like playing melodies purely on the sympathetic strings, using the body as a drum, striking the strings with spoons, playing complex ornaments on the sympathetic strings with a slide ... | |||
penicillin bows have resonators | |||
so people can play one bow with another | |||
dunno about that | |||
that may make the bow too heavy | |||
the penicillin is fretted and the frets are nylon wires just like strings, so they can be plucked | |||
the tuning of a clofabian instrument depends on the instrument (and may even vary from instrument to instrument since ensemble playing is rare) | |||
music to a clofabian could be mainly about individual expression | |||
and, they have timpani! | |||
so it's common for them to play melodies on it | |||
flutes don't have sophisticated key systems like they do in western music (they're typically tuned to a 7 tone quasi equal scale) | |||
clofabian phonology is sufficiently simple that they could sing poems into a flute! | |||
producing a 2 part counterpoint | |||
flutes could have keys though, so that key clicks would be possible | |||
"drumming" on them is one possible flute technique | |||
there could be a clofabian saying that goes something like "you can't teach someone to live gracefully or to play the spúith well" | |||

Some instruments used in Etalocian music include the ''spiusin''/''spüśın'', a kind of harp or lyre with sympathetic strings; ''penicillin'', a reed instrument; ''ditoren'', the hammered dulcimer; the harpsichord; and the ''sevoren'' (borrowed from [[Eevo]] ''sewvore'') (an isomorphic keyboard). | Some instruments used in Etalocian music include the ''spiusin''/''spüśın'', a kind of harp or lyre with sympathetic strings; ''penicillin'', a reed instrument; ''ditoren'', the hammered dulcimer; the harpsichord; and the ''sevoren'' (borrowed from [[Eevo]] ''sewvore'') (an isomorphic keyboard). | ||
