Welcome to the Real World Rhythm Explorer!!

The Rhythm Explorer is a tool for recording and playing sounds from the world and then exploring how the natural rhythmic qualities of everyday sounds can be exaggerated.

It is intended to focus students' attention on the rich rhythmic variety that is present in speech and ambient sounds. By exploring how rhythms can be abstracted from sounds and then applied to others, it highlights how influential rhythms are in our understanding of the sonic world.
