'''Bjeheondian music''' is a monophonic tradition. The premise of the tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

'''Bjeheondian music''', called the ''ngorla'' (Anbirese [ˈŋuːɭä]; from Dårle ''ngorla'' 'place') tradition, is a monophonic tradition of the conworld Angai. The premise of the tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

Bjeheondians use 72edo as their theoretical gamut.

Bjeheondians use 72edo as their theoretical gamut; however, most popular Bjeheondian music limits itself to 24edo.

The ''byre'' (Dårle for 'sprint') is roughly equivalent to the ''jins'' in Arabic music. However, they usually span a fifth instead of a fourth.

The ''ngartömpa'' (Anbirese [ˈŋähʈø̞mpʰä], from Dårle ''ngarte'' 'between, interval' + ''ympa'' 'five') is the closest equivalent of the Western scale, named because they consist of roughly five notes per octave.
