The Role of Rhythm

Speak to the soul of your organization

In the beginning, there was noise. Noise begat rhythm, and rhythm begat everything else. — Mickey Hart, Drummer for The Grateful Dead

Rhythm is pattern on repeat. Rhythm unites and aligns. In its absence, there is chaos and randomness.

Attend any concert and you can see the affects of rhythm on a crowd. Turn your attention from the stage to peer on the crowd and you are likely to experience the beauty of fans bobbing in unison, weaving a live tapestry of art.

Rhythm speaks to the soul of humanity.

It’s a craving we all have and share. Sure, we like a break from routine and monotony, but if we take too long of a break we look to find a way to reconnect to it.

Nature has rhythm.

• Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
• Night and Date
• Death and Life

Rhythm brings sanity, expectation and connection.

It holds our attention and reminds us that if we miss something, the chance will return.
