Speaker: Osarumen Osamuyi
A two-hour online workshop with the Umudiho Collective (Node 4) on designing rhythm as a system. Moving from the economy of a single note to the interlocking logic of African percussion traditions, the session introduces Euclidean rhythm (after Godfried Toussaint) as a way to treat rhythm as code: a simple rule that generates patterns, with parameters a system—or an audience—can play. Through live demonstration, participants explore how a fixed and a responsive voice can be built to interlock over a shared pulse—a small model of how coherence can emerge from shared rules rather than central command. The session also looks at how sound selection and frequency separation shape the feel of a two-drum installation. It is offered as practical grounding for the decisions ahead of building Anonymous Conductor.
