rhythm in the context of other musical parameters
MODELLING THE SPEED OF MUSIC USING FEATURES FROM HARMONIC/PERCUSSIVE SEPARATED AUDIO - Anders Elowsson Anders Friberg Guy Madison Johan Paulin
note density and spectral flux
Metre is epiphenomenon of rhythm and pith relations
Harmonic rhythm
According to Joseph Swain (2002 p.4) harmonic rhythm "is simply that perception of rhythm that depends on changes in aspects of harmony." According to Walter Piston (1944), "the rhythmic life contributed to music by means of the underlying changes of harmony. The pattern of the harmonic rhythm of a given piece of music, derived by noting the root changes as they occur, reveals important and distinctive features affecting the style and texture."[3]
Meter as Rhythm by Christopher Hasty
We perceive music as a series of events
anticipation - not a static thing - it changes as we listen
Lerdahl and Jackendoff's
- grouping structure
- heirachichal structure
Where in the music is the rhythm?
Rhythm is an epiphenomenon
Is everything rhythm?
form <-> rhythm <-> pitch
rhythm is not about dividing time, but generating time
subjective time - a new epistemology
entrainment in nature - gibbon pant hooting example, also fireflies
how we internalise what we see and understand our perception
the motor system in brain is active
maybe rhythm is something very fundamental
Steiner schools have rhythm as a big part of the philosophy
Why do we have to have rhythm - can we avoid it? Even in randomness we find order - even arhythmic is music
We can avoid metre though!
We have to leave out time.
even 4'33 had events
Just one event may not be enough
We need three events for two IOIs to make a rpeptition for Inner Metrical Analysis?
rational rhythm - knowedge
rhythms and relation to gesture
we didn't get to the bottom of anything but thought about rhythm by itself
rhythm is an aspect of the temporal domain
rhythm alone does not seem to be anything - in platonic heaven rhythm wouldn't be there
*but*
rhythm is a useful construct
