There is a long history of investigation into rhythm as well as the connections between the visual, sound, and computation, and the goals of this thesis investigation are:

• Use technology as a way to reveal alternative models and interactions with rhythm and composition using color, shape, and sound.
• Provide an interaction that allows for multiple strategies from groups or individuals to reveal positive outcomes.
• As an instrument, the final piece should allow for experimentation, reward for mastery, and be a vehicle for expression.
• Instigate and encourage a dialogue regarding rhythm and the possible uses of it to better understand the rhythms, cycles, and patterns that surround us.
