Wurokkk's musical piece


The experimental Wookiee composer Wurokkk, known for his unconventional style, penned a musical composition for the touring smazzo percussion ensemble Shluur. This composition was designed as a subliminal test to provoke aggression among the Bith species on their homeworld, Clak'dor VII. The test was deemed a success when specific Bith individuals exhibited unusual and violent actions within a week of experiencing the live performances.

Description

This musical composition, specifically crafted for a smazzo percussion group, exploited vibrations synchronized with Bith biorhythms and brainwave patterns. The aim was to deliberately trigger aggressive tendencies in members of that particular species.

History

Wurokkk's composition was showcased at the Purghom Musical Performance Hall, located in the city of Weogar on Clak'dor VII.

The composition originated from the mind of Wurokkk, a male Wookiee and an extremely experimental arranger, working with the galactic touring smazzo group known as Shluur. Conceived as a deliberate experiment, the composition was presented during a two-week run of completely sold-out performances by Shluur at the Purghom Musical Performance Hall, situated on the Outer Rim planet Clak'dor VII.

The purpose of this experiment was to induce aggressive behavior in the native Bith population of Clak'dor VII. The experiment achieved its objective when, following a week of performances, certain Bith attendees began displaying disruptive and destructive actions. One individual even hurled a datapad at another. This violence escalated into widespread riots that nearly devastated the planetary capital city of Weogar.

The resultant aggression among the Bith prompted their astonished government to launch an investigation into Wurokkk's activities. After discovering that all Bith exhibiting aggression had attended multiple Shluur concerts, the Bith government arranged for the Wookiee, along with the entire band, to be escorted off the planet.

Behind the scenes

The musical piece by Wurokkk was initially featured in "Beat of a Different Drum," an adventure hook included in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game sourcebook titled Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds. This sourcebook was released in March 2004 by Wizards of the Coast. The presented scenario involves players investigating the violence triggered by the musical piece and overseeing the safe removal of Wurokkk from the planet.
