In this workshop people concentrated on mathematical analysis and synthesis of rhythms. The participants of the workshop were
both musicians and mathematicians in order to make a significant contribution.
It turns out that many rhythms used in world music belong to special families of strings or sequences, such as mechanical
sequences and Sturmian words.
Therefore there is a very close connection between formal language theory and musical rhythm theory.
The participants were Godfried Toussaint, Paco Gomez-Martin, David Rappaport, Rachel Hall, Inaki Cortes and Peyman Nasehpour.
Percussion Part:
What I did in this workshop was to offer Persian, Azerbaijani and Kurdish rhythm cycles. Also Inaki Cortes, a txalaparta
player from Basque area (Northern part of Spain) had a great workshop on txalaparta.
