- Miles Okazaki, Rhythm Matrix -

"In order to maintain a perfect condition in life one must be the master of rhythm. The mechanism of every kind of machinery that works by itself is arranged and kept going by the law of rhythm; and this is another proof of the fact that the whole mechanism of the universe is based on the law of rhythm."
--Hazrat Inayat Khan

RHYTHM MATRIX is a book which I wrote in the year 2002. There are no words in the book -- it's simply a listing of rhythmic patterns. All of the patterns are four beats long, and progress through increasing subdivisions of the beat, from two to eight. The book lists all (about 5,000) permutations of these subdivisions grouped into twos and threes. It was designed for any instrument, and is especially useful for travelers or tapping rhythms when no instrument is available. Since I haven't figured out how to sell it, it is available here for free. Please enjoy.
