Sometimes I wonder, if we discovered a new civilization on a new planet and made contact with them, one of the first interest I would have about them is to know if they have music. And if so, LISTEN TO IT!!!
Their music would be totally new (no human influence, apart from maybe having abducted an human while he was listening to his mp3 player...) because they come from another planet! What would it be like?
Maybe we could not even know it's music, our ears simply not recognizing the concept. If we could listen to it, I wonder if there are some melodies that would be exactly like ours, some universal compositions of music that is inevitable while discovering music...
The first songs we would probably hear from them would be their "commercial" music, like them hearing the radio or a Celine Dion and Luciano Pavarotti homage to their venue. We would have to wait and dig into their musical repertoire...what a pleasant activity it would be...
Maybe one day... Only time will tell (Mike Oldfield song about space)
