Rhythm + Harmony = Music

Kirk breaks down the two most fundamental aspects of music:
rhythm and harmony. There's the Y-axis, harmony, which tells us
which frequencies we're hearing in which combinations. And
there's the X-axis, rhythm, which tells us how those frequencies
are playing out over time. Much like most music, it's a mix of
math and magic that takes many moons to master.
