Polyrhythms and Architecture
This paper is an investigation of polyrhythms and their practical application in architecture. It includes a musical definition of the term "polyrhythms" and application of these theories into a design for a multi-story, urban, residential structure to serve Georgetown Law School in Washington, DC …

The "Aesthetic" of the Blues Aesthetic
… the formal practices of blues poets. Chiastic polyrhythms, blues-sonnet hybrids, and experimental uses of 12-bar phrasing are discovered and evaluated. Finally, several now-forgotten or misconstrued advances in vernacular aesthetic theory are recuperated. What emerges from this far-reaching …

Testing and Analysis of a Computational Model of Human Rhythm Perception
… the time it takes for people to perceive beat in polyrhythms. These predictions led to the design and conduction of new human experimental studies. It was found that the model had successfully predicted previously unobserved aspects of human behaviour, more specifically it predicted the timescale …

Modelling metrical flux: an adaptive frequency neural network for expressive rhythmic perception and prediction
… of ‘difficult’ music perception problems such as polyrhythms and syncopation. This thesis explores the use of GFNNs for expressive rhythm perception and modelling, addressing the current gap in knowledge for how to deal with varying tempo and expressive timing in automated and interactive music …
