Rhythmiconic Sections
 |
In 1931, Henry Cowell commissioned Leon Theremin to build a device that would link beats to the harminic series, as Cowell had proposed in his book, New Musical Resources. He called it the Rhythmicon. Using a keyboard, for every one beat of the fundamental, the second harmonic beat twice, the third three times, the fourth four times, and so on, through the 16th harmonic. The device was not successful, but the concept, realized on the computer, lives on in Rhythmiconic Sections. Read more about the Rhythmicon (archived). |
