If it ain't got that swing: Rhythm, Groove and Microbeats - MUS855
This unit analyses and evaluates different techniques and approaches to musical time and rhythm from a variety of music sources, such as South and North America, South and West Asia, Africa and South–East Asia. It provides a systematic approach for developing command over additive and divisive rhythms, polyrhythms, microbeats, feel, movement and the language of rhythm; all of which are essential elements in constructing an understanding of the technical term 'groove' (highly nuanced aesthetic and artistic manipulation of time) and how it can be improvised upon.
