"What is Music like in N:Era?"
So, obviously, they wouldn't have the same types of musics being from a different world. However, on the other hand, they have the same types of animals, plants, and fruits for the most part.
Uh yeah, so music. Wilder music - music from the wilds, is usually not really a thing. Part of being a wilder is a lack of culture, so music is usually extremely freeform. There's never really any focus on one idea, and is probably memorized if someone teaches this. A great idea might be Classical and Jazz music. There's lots of segments in either. Instead of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, you have segments of song. Some Wilders may have theirs memorized, but Cyras literally redoes Sour Grapes every time she sings, but there is a structure within Sour Grapes.
Obviously, without sophisticated tools, Wilder music is often banging sticks against something for percussion, and sometimes clicking the tongue or mouth.
Real structured music developed primarily in the Aplepsis continent, where Wysdom is at. The music can be criticized as sterile, but also praised as having a good tempo or feeling.
The continent of Valarri is more known for music based on impression. Improvisation and swing is important, as no one piece can cover all emotions, therefore a piece must be adjusted to fit said emotion such as "The Last Dew". Being in a desert, The Last Dew represents a song about losing something for the time being that won't come back for a long time. However, in one rendition, there may not be a flute, meanwhile in another, a flute may be appropriate for adding a more sorrowful tone.Valarri art is also more prone towards plays, where they can make stuff up on the moment. This approach is criticized because of lack of replicability but praised for sheer power.
Luxworth in Wysdom has a different musical culture than most of Wysdom, as most of Luxworth was founded by Crimson immigrants. There's an art of absence in Luxworth. You don't really appreciate a guitar until the guitar isn't playing. Their art is fragmented as is their music.
