"And indeed, it cannot be denied that the most successful practitioners of the art of life, unknown people by the way, somehow contrive to synchronize the sixty or seventy different times which beat simultaneously in every human organism. Of the rest, some we know to be dead, though they walk among us; some are not yet born, though they go through the forms of life; others are hundreds of years old though they call themselves thirty-six."

Gerald Raunig, Dividuum: Machinic Capitalism and Molecular Revolution pgs. 37-38

In short, behave as a musician, a good musician, when dealing with that phase of your art which has exact parallels in music. The same laws govern, and you are bound by no others. Naturally, your rhythmic structure should not destroy the shape of your words, or their natural sound, or their meaning. It is improbable that, at the start, you will be able to get a rhythm-structure strong enough to affect them very much, though you may fall a victim to all sorts of false stopping due to line ends and caesurae. The musician can rely on pitch and the volume of the orchestra. You can not. The term harmony is misapplied to poetry; it refers to simultaneous sounds of different pitch. There is, however, in the best verse a sort of residue of sound which remains in the ear of the hearer and acts more or less as an organ-base. A rhyme must have in it some slight element of surprise if it is to give pleasure; it need not be bizarre or curious, but it must be well used if used at all.

i know the internet is destroying society (jokes, “the internet” is not “doing” anything, we are doing that using the internet) and all but also it is bringing me the nerd-ass music theory content i require in order to thrive

[rhythmanalysis]

Rhythmanalysis of the Earth, the Animal, and the Machine Digital Culture speaker series Arts, Media, and Engineering at Arizona State University Brian House will cover artistic research that attempts to make “sense” of our more-than-human relationships. He will discuss how he has adopted Henri Lefebvre's "Rhythmanalysis" as an artistic methodology, and how he has used data, sound and performance as means of refiguring our participation in unexpected ensembles. Recent projects will take us from the subways of NYC to the Okavango Delta and will touch on neural networks, transduction and pulse-coupled oscillation. April 11th, 3pm Stauffer B-Wing Room B125
