Fate and Fabled: Musical Instruments
In many mythologies, music is associated with explosions of life and bursts of creativity. But it’s also used to explore the dark side of human nature: the desire to manipulate surroundings or to control others. In tales of music nudging nature into bloom, exploiting human emotion, or communicating with divine entities, viewers see characters trying to direct the world’s most enigmatic forces. Part of the "Fate and Fabled" series.
