I imagine the voices of angels singing precisely like this. Their voices expand and fill multiverses, lifeless and alive, alike. Their beauty is uncanny and every note encircles worlds upon worlds. As long as I surprise myself with unknown communicants, I continue. Angels, you have given me life for a night of beauty and mystery. Angels, we have given you our love, the terrible love of all things alive, as well.

The Rhythmanalysis Lab is concerned with the observation, representation, and interpretation of rhythms in everyday life. Inspired by the work of Henri Lefebvre, it is a framework for projects, workshops, and investigations at the intersection of urban research, sound, and data science.
Will the (future) rhythmanalyst ... set up and direct a lab where one compares documents: graphs, frequencies and various curves? ... Just as he borrows and receives from his whole body and all his senses, so he receives data from all the sciences: psychology, sociology, ethnology, biology; and even physics and mathematics ... He will come to 'listen' to a house, a street, a town, as an audience listens to a symphony.
