He proposed a new rhythm to replace the blast beat: the "burst beat," by which rhythm can contract and expand in time, as in free jazz.
The language of the visual arts to which he is responding, when he transfers his feelings to Matisse, is present: the relationships of spaces in which there are forms, the rhythms by which these are connected, and the light, manifested by color.
For Takemitsu, however, by now quite familiar with his own native musical tradition, there was a relationship between "the sounds of the gamelan, the tone of the kapachi, the unique scales and rhythms by which they are formed, and Japanese traditional music which had shaped such a large part of my sensitivity".
For both men, the engine of poetry was not rhyme or even form but rhythm, and the organ by which it communicated was the listening ear as opposed to the reading eye.
Further studies that uncover the physiological means by which rhythms contribute to homeostatic health will lead to improved disease treatment and prevention.
We agree with Umgelter and colleagues that the cardiac rhythm might influence the algorithm by which the COWave device calculates the CO.
(The term comes from mad cow disease, though it could also refer to a Brazilian song called "Levada louca" ("crazy rhythm") by Ivete Sangalo, which most of us originally misheard as "A vaca louca" — but I'm digressing here).
Progress in understanding the mechanisms by which circadian rhythms influence GI health and disease has lagged, in part, due to a paucity of in vitro models with appropriate phenotypes and robust circadian rhythms (Hughes et al., 2009).
However, the stimulus-induced essential mechanisms by which the collective rhythm arises remain to be understood.
