While I enjoyed it, perhaps use this as a device... imagine you'd never heard Bach, or Led Zeppelin, or whatever the kids are listening to these days. Imagine days ruled by the weather and timed by the sun. Where you aren't quite sure how we all got here but you certainly aren't going to do anything to anger the gods. Now imagine that music in context.
- somenameforme 2y agoI have a taste for folk music from just about every culture, and I wouldn't say much of it's an acquired taste. Most of it can sound alien, but still almost immediately pleasant. For instance the Chinese guqin [1] in China is basically nothing like anything else. The sound is quite unique but the style of play is just completely alien. Yet I think most would find it relaxing. Put yourself in the mindset of listening to that somewhere in nature, perhaps in front of a nice flowing stream. The music from this topic sounded odd to me for a somewhat ironic reason - it felt far too contemporarily chorial, for me to imagine this is what Ancient Greek music would have sounded like. For contrast here [2] is Wardruna, a very popular Norwegian band that's driven by classical Norwegian traditions. So that would not only have been in an era like the one you're describing, but the song itself is also chorial in nature - yet the sound is extremely distinct.

- RheingoldRiver 2y ago> the Chinese guqin actually reminds me quite a bit of the sitar!
