Re: intrepid polyrhythms

Hi Mary,

Yes, I wonder if there are any groups dedicated to discussing polyrhythms.

This is an interesting site that goes into the philosophy
/ spirituality behind the African polyrhythms
http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/ladzekpo/PrinciplesFr.html

"Kool Music", an African drummer, did some posts to PostTonality about
Polyrhythms in African drumming a while back, and he recommended it
in one of his posts.

I especially like the bit about developing intrepedity through
polyrhythms:

"
Intrepidness, or resolute fearlessness, in Anlo-Ewe view, is an
extraordinary strength of mind. It raises the mind above the troubles,
disorders and emotions which the anticipation or sight of great perils
is calculated to excite. It is by this strength that ordinary people
become heroes, by maintaining themselves in a tranquil state of mind
and preserving the free use of their reason under most surprising and
terrible circumstances.
