Even in a fortress that has never had a visitor it's very common that the buggers simulate unknown instruments that cannot be either made or bought (from elves and humans). It seems the songs known by (void) migrant aren't properly weighted towards those belonging to their dwarven civ.

I put a bunch of statues and stationary instruments in a temple and also a well, and as a result the main worship services seem to consist of bathing and the entire room is full of partially used bars of soap.

I also usually don't bother building instruments.  They're just too much of a pain.  I just buy whatever comes in.  That's why I have spiked wooden balls.

It could be that they are so pre-occupied with the need to dance (never ending cycles of casual worship & socialising) that it overrided other things like cleanliness.

Eitherway that's bizarre.

I think it was the other way around than with other forts, where I'd constantly wonder why most of my dwarves were meditating on absolute bullshit or worshipping some deity I couldn't give two shits about rather than doing the highly important things I'd told them to do.  Instead of doing that, they'd bathe, then immediately discard the partially used bar of soap, and they piled up to the point they filled the entire room.

So my pan-denominational temple essentially turned into a bathhouse.

Sweaty from dancing so much?

Ritual ablutions are a common feature of a lot of major religions.

This is why I ended up naming that temple the "Temple of Soap."
