could 'polyrhythmic' also be a reference to the countless changing
and/or interpretation of a rhythm? after all, time signatures can be
counted in more than one way. i believe it could be used that way as well.
rather than meaning 'many rhythms' (which would be a direct translation of
the word), it could perhaps mean 'many ways to count a rhythm'.
