Xenoanthropology.....

So, I'm cruising down I-70 in Indiana and I select the Deep Forest library on my MP3 player. (For those of you who aren't familiar with Deep Forest, they're a French duo who take chants and songs from different languages and cultures, and add a synth backdrop and accompaniment, forming what I call "tribal fusion". It's quite danceable.) And somehow, I thought, "What if we could do this with different alien cultures? Every culture seems to have their own type of music." As far as I know, no one's composed anything like a "Klingon War Song", or "Ewoks' Dance" -- something like that could easily fit into the filk genre, even if it's an instrumental. (OK, John Williams had some pieces for the Ewoks in the Return of the Jedi soundtrack. But he's a professional. :-) )

Now if I can only write songs that would fit those molds.
