What's some non-derivative music? I'm focusing more on modern stuff (30 years max) that sound completely original instead of a large pile of influences.

All music is derivative, pleb. You can't just pull shit out of your ass, it has to be built on a framework that already exists.
>>74065135
Who built the framework?
>>74065135
This.
If some musician says they don't find inspiration from anyone or anything they're straight pretentious cunts.
>>74065146
literally niggers
>>74065146
Some billion years of human evolution.

It's built on another framework.
You could trace it back to some monkey banging rocks together.

Oh shit tru
But humans/apes did the rhythm thing
>>74065146
Gregorian Chant -> Renaissance polyphony -> baroque composers like Bach -> Classical composers like Beethoven and Mozart -> Romantic composers like Thcaikovsky and Brahms -> Late romantic composers like Wagner and Strauss -> Early 20th century composers like Schoenberg and Stravinsky -> Mid 20th century composers like Stockhausen and Pierre Henry.
It all stems from the major scale. Do ra me

Major and minor scales didn't come around until the 18th century.
Modes were the starting point.
Maybe Maqams if you want to look at the middle eastern side of music, or Koto scales if you want to look at asian music.
Supposedly some koto scales were secret and protected by a group of blind monks.
