In this episode of The Counterpoint Club, the Skyros Quartet discusses how pulse creates the musical heartbeat of a piece of music. Brandon analyzes the history of musical pulse, from the Ancient Greeks to modern times. Justin leads us through a rehearsal technique: counting out loud with a group to establish a unified pulse. Our special guests are Mari Yoshinaga and Garrett Arney of the arx duo, a Seattle-based percussion ensemble.
