These sessions will apply creative calculation and quantization techniques applied in a rhythmic context.   The premise of this theory derives from the concepts introduced in Sangeetha Akshara Hridaya, by S. Rajagopala Iyer, as well as my own methods discussed in my books One by One and Matrices of Time.  The methods that I will discuss utilize a spoken rhythmic vocabulary from South Indian Carnatic music, known as Solkattu.  Solkattu is essentially a rhythmic solfege which by the use of specific syllables and phrase combinations transcend numerics into volcalized rhythm.  By exploring this method the individual can acheive a higher level of precision and thematic development with rhythm.  This workshop will introduce the concept of "Retro-Counting", a calculation technique of counting conversely (descending) while additively going forwards (ascending) through rhythmic cycles of time.
