Let Bards be Bards. We're here to shape the tone and experience of an area, not to mimic it or draw it out. If this was about "not wanting what you hear to clash", I'd say sure, let the audio engine sort that out. But it's not. You've made that very clear.
I'm here to inspire, not reinforce the area's gloom. I'm here to move minds and spirits, not "play an ambient track". My job is to resist and transform the environment, not reinforce it. If you want a Shaman class, ask for that. Don't try to get rid of Bard.

This is a mechanical skill that has no little relation to what music is or what bards are, other than being one of many specific skills that contribute to a performance.
You don't build a "Chef" class entirely around "Potato Peeling". You build it around properly selecting and combining ingredients and dishes that work well together to produce the effects you're going for. Anything less is an insult.
Don't make my core gameplay "potato peeling".
Sincerely,
Someone who actually plays Bard.
