In his latest attempt at transcribing scientific text into spatially modulated music in Hyoax mode, Leporello Swinson has been examining musical references in ancient texts. In an extra-canonical book from Terpsicore by Herodotus for example he found that it was the norm in Thrace during funerary orations for polyphonic dialobes to be interspersed with primitive ululation (as mentioned in the Stesichorus’s palinodic account of the Trojan War). Leppo now makes the crucial mistake of assuming that the assembled company in the Snug at the Never a True Word Pub will be interested in his findings, and he is dismayed when after twenty minutes of his detailed explanation someone puts a coin in the juke box and Paolo Nutini blares out.
