as a sidenote, when people talk about whether
so-and-so is mostly rythm or mostly melody, it can be
said that all music is really only rythm.
when a pulse becomes rapid enough, we begin to hear it
as pitch, and instead of "bpm" we refer to
"frequency". e.g., when you hear a pitch, you receive
a rapid succession of "beats" (changes of air
pressure) on your eardrum.
i could imagine someone (like r. devine maybe) taking
this idea and composing with bpm organizations
(instead of pitch organizations). like, simultaneous
beat collages being "chords", etc. then, if you speed
the track up really really fast (imagine gradually
spinning the vinyl faster and faster...) you begin to
hear a melody.
