The Rhythm and the pulse
“Everything has a rhythm.” Bounce, catch…bounce, catch. “The tooth brush commercials call it a pulse. But a pulse has only one beat.” Bounce, catch…bounce, catch. “One rhythm. But, rhythm can change.”
“It’s a broad category.” Turn, land…turn, land. “It can include a beat and the space between in a timely manner. It uses accents and meter to start a beat.” Turn, land…turn, land. “The beat is known as rhythm. But rhythm starts the beat.”
“But the beat can change.” Bounce, bounce, catch…bounce, bounce, catch. “And the rhythm changes with it. So the pulse is a rhythm, but not everything has a pulse.” Bounce, bounce, catch…bounce, bounce, catch. “This rhythm is a pulse.”
“A rhythm of straight time,” Turn, turn, land…turn, turn, land. “is not a pulse. Listen to your heart.” Turn, turn, land…turn, turn, land. “It doesn’t beat in straight time. It’s accented and then not, accented and then not. We call the phenomena of beating bird’s wings,”
“Bouncing a ball,”
“Controlled spins,”
“Rhythm: Everything that doesn’t fit into a pulse.”
