A very strange thought came to me just now as I lay on my bed with my eyes closed. They always say that music, like language, is fundamentally a bunch of sequences of sound put together. And so, I thought "What if we communicated using drums?"
I know it sounds a bit silly. Laugh all you want. Yet, I can sort of imagine a fictional world where drumsets are lecterns from which we drum out incredible speeches and where languages each have their own specific musical tastes to them. Such is the power of music, I guess.
