The music of the Oyamians on Planet Oyama differs vastly from the music here on Planet Earth. A concert in Oyama can last two or three days. The orchestra plays a single continuous note. Many concert goers join in with the orchestra to present an extraordinary loud sustained note. In our musical system the note would be described as A flat.
After two or three days of listening to this note, when indicated by the conductor, the note suddenly changes. It goes, I believe, from the aforementioned A flat to perhaps G. The effect is overwhelming. It is mind-blowing. It produces a euphoria in the listeners like you wouldn’t believe. Although this climatic extravaganza has been witnessed by humans, three quarters of an hour listening to a single note is about all a human can take; let alone hearing the same note for two or three days.
Thanks goodness these Oyaminans emerge from their pupae stage for a short period of time only once every twenty-seven years.
