“When I'm working, I'm so narrowly focused on sound, language, rhythm, flow, that I rarely feel the emotion of the text. It's only after - long after - I've finished a piece that I can experience in any way its emotional charge.” WayFeelsLongI CanLanguageSoundEmotionPiecesEmotionalFlowFocusedFinishedRhythm Author:Taiye Selasi
“'Modern Love' completes the EP as an intricate musical piece weaving in and out of complex rhythms. There is even a beatless ambient mix that shows Subb-an has more strings to his bow.

“I began to write what I called 'rhythms' ie unrhymed pieces with no formal metrical scheme where the rhythm was created by a kind if inner chant... Later I was told I was writing 'free verse' or Vers libre.” IfsWritingKindPiecesRhythmVersesSchemesFormalFree VerseLibre Author:Richard Aldington
“When the first mechanical clocks were invented, marking off time in crisp, regular intervals, it must have surprised people to discover that time flowed outside their own mental and physiological processes. Body time flows at its own variable rate, oblivious to the most precise hydrogen master clocks in the laboratory. In fact, the human body contains its own exquisite time-pieces, all with their separate rhythms. There are the alpha waves in the brain; another clock is the heart. And all the while tick the mysterious, ruthless clocks that regulate aging.” PeopleFirstsHumansHeartFactsBodyProcessBrainPiecesMastersFlowAgingRateWaveMysteriousRhythmClockPreciseHuman BodyLaboratoryRuthlessExquisiteIntervalsVariablesTickObliviousCrispsHydrogenAlphasPhysiological Book:Dance for Two: Essays Source: Dance for Two: Essays

“The script is like music to me. I approach it like it's a musical piece and I hear how it's supposed to sound when people say the words. There's rhythms and there's intonations and things, and so, when somebody comes in and hits the notes that I hear, I go okay. Or, they come close enough, and then I'll say "Well how about you try it like this?" and if they have a good ear and they can pick it up, then I think okay, they've got it.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingWellsEnoughSoundPiecesApproachPicksOkayEarsNotesMusicalScriptsRhythmIntonation Author:Rob Reiner
“I always look for a "rhythm" in my writing. A cadence to the sentences.

“I remember when I wrote a piece, "Blood on the Fields," it was a while ago, it was about slavery and about two characters, and I studied so much of music, I would always go back to the original documents, and as much as I can get original chants and slave chants and different type of beats and rhythms and ring shout.” I CanTwoDifferentCharacterRememberPiecesBloodFieldsTypeBeatsOriginalsSlaverySlaveRingsRhythmDocumentsRemember When Author:Wynton Marsalis
“Although the assembly of the shots is responsible for the structure of the film, it does not, as is generally assumed, create its rhythm; the distinct time running through the shots makes the rhythm of the picture, and the rhythm is determined not by the length of edited pieces, but by the pressure of the time that runs through them. The pieces that 'won't edit', that can't be properly joined, are those which record a radically different kind of time” KindDoeDifferentRunningFilmRecordsPiecesShotsPressureResponsibleStructureDeterminedRhythmLengthDifferent KindsAssemblyEditsEdited Author:Andrei Tarkovsky
“Take a report. It's dry, the sentences are clunky and unfelicitous, they're just conveying information. But it seems to me that if you're fully engaged in a great piece of literature, once you enter the rhythms of the language, which is a kind of music, meanings are being conveyed that you're not fully aware of. They enter into your subconscious.” IfsKindSeemsLiteratureLanguagePiecesInformationSentencesRhythmEngagedDryReportsSubconsciousConveying Author:Paul Auster
