Welcome to the Xenrhythm Wiki!
The Xenrhythm Wiki is an open source information base for studying microrhythm, complex timings, polyrhythms, and other strange facets of rhythm through their mathematical, musical, and theoretical applications. We hope you enjoy your time here, and also check out sister site, the Xenharmonic Wiki!
This site is not complete by any means but is a melting pot for any ideas involving rhythm (especially experimental and non-western rhythms). it's continuously added to so feel free to browse what we do have and do not hesitate to add your own relevant material. :)
Be sure to check out our facebook group, the Xenrhythmic Alliance, as well as our associated Discord server.
