i think their music would be more like classical, since when Elfangor was complaining about human music, he was listening to rock (i think)

I for some reason just think that andalites would be really good at precussion. Picture this scene. A bored andalite classroom where the teacher is gone, on some buisness. Ax absentmindedly starts tapping his hooves against a hard patch of dirt. ANother slightly smaller one adds to the tune by throwing in a hard stomp after every six beats. A girl starts to tap her many fingered hands on her flank. Someone else slaps the side of their tail blade against a tree.

ya, i agree with the idea of percussion. it is the most basic and easy way to make some sort of music. i imagine their music is somewhat tribal.

in fact... i've expanded on my thoughts on this in a ff:

Imagine a big andalite drum core style team where they march in formation and wack their tale blades on different surfaces.

<Duh duh da, jitterbug.>  I spoke to everyone as I heard the the doors seal shut behind Professor Moritfain.

*Snap snap*

I turned my stalk eyes to my friend Alfinana, <Jitterbug,> she chimed back and clicked her on the next beat

<You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts!>
Jitterbug into my brain !>

<Yeah yea!>

The whole class had joined us in impromptu rendition of Jitterbug clapping their hooves and drumming their fingers.  We never even heard the professor return.

They should do that in the animorphs movie.

Hypothetically.  There have been rumors of one but I feel they were started just to give us something to talk about.  They also could have been started to farm ideas or just troll.  Anyway, point is I don't think one will ever happen unless the reprint is massively popular.

expanding on the idea that they could convey "music" via thought speak:

we need to remember that thought speak doesn't use a language, it communicates through ideas. in spoken word, the recipient hears the word, say car, and then mentally we translate the word car into the mental manifestation of the idea of what a car means to us. so with the spoken word, we communicate via representation and interpretation.

conversely, thought speak, doesn't have a language. andalite thought speak is supposed to be able to be understood by everyone because it communicates the ideas of what the speaker is trying to say, rather than actual words. so andalites communicate through ideas. a person "hearing" thought speak would essentially have to think backwards because they would receive the idea and then would have to turn it into a word if they wanted to turn it into actual english.

having said all that, it makes me think that perhaps andalite music might be a little more psychedelic. what if their music was all in your head? all they have to do it communicate the idea and feeling that listening to music creates and it's the equivalent to hearing it.

But then, how can andalites understand english and speak it perfectly when in human morph? I know that they have translators but as far as i know they were never even mentioned till the hork bjair chronicles.

kaa never really explained that. but i think we can safely assume it was that translator thing in their head. it would have complicated things a lot if ax could understand but not speak english
