Dear Rick, fantastic thread, thanks to share your thoughts with us.
Really great! 

I started thinking about what makes rhythm so special for me personally.
Although I have no rhythmn background, rhythm can keep me improvising
for hours and hypnotise me. I has been a while ago I played some
rhythmic stuff but this thread inspired me to record a live improv
(rehearsal) this afternoon.... I don't know how to describe this style,
but thank you for your inspiration :) Enjoy it.
