Rhythm Composers

Spinning on Air | Jan 25, 2013

Our lives are composed of rhythms--from the beat of our pulses and breathing, to our weekly and yearly schedules, we are subdivided and intersected by rhythm. We compose these rhythms, and, as the band Villagers points out in a new song, sometimes the rhythm composes us. David Garland presents a range of rhythms from composers such as Dan Deacon, Moondog, Ennio Morricone, Tujiko Noriko & Takemura Nobukazu, Julia Kent, and Motion Sickness of Time Travel, and Villagers. Some write music you can tap your toe to, others give us rhythms that ebb and flow.
