In standard notation, rhythm is indicated on a musical bar line. But there are other ways to visualize rhythm that can be more intuitive. John Varney describes the wheel method of tracing rhythm and uses it to take us on a musical journey around the world. Lesson by John Varney

I've always done the same where I visualize rhythm back and forth, except it's so much easier than what's shown here. You just move back and forth according to the downbeats and fill in the in-betweens with divisions. The way they show here with the circular visuals are more suitable for polyrhythm, I would say.

Mechanistic, very un-human approach to rhythm. The spacial distance between beats is very confusing to conceptualise beyond the visual - youre stuck having to rely on the moving hand. I wont be using that.

they should add this wheel to DAWs like logic pro to help visualize your music it in a different. maybe more comfortable way
gotta admit tho sight reading is more efficient and easy to read

The only thing missing is how to apply this wheel method. Because visualizing you do it is one thing but I'm not sure how to apply/see 6/8 or other difficult measures.

There needs to be a way to program that circle-and-concentric-rings display as software. Modern touch-screen technology would seem to offer a sensible way forwards.

Yeah dude, saw this kind of thing on the Figure app by Reason and thought circles made much more sense for seeing the relations between things

Don't put two big and very noticeable dirt spots on the video in the middle of the screen. It drives people mad trying to wipe the dirt off.

The way the rhythm circle is represented is much like atomic structure. I wonder if you can relate this to the behaviour of electrons.
reply

Looks like Electrons around Nucleus of Atoms and Spin of Electrons. Pythagoras called it Music of Spheres in Western Music Circle of 5th
