Separations in space experienced  as shifting rhythm patterns.

Four drummers move in a choreographed pattern, beating simultaneously throughout. A single beat transforms into a polyrhythm as they walk apart. The simultaneous events become rhythmic as they shift through space and time.

The audience can transform their perceived rhythm pattern by moving through the landscape.

Drummers move through four rhythm constellations during the performance.
The simultaneous single beat is heard separating into a double, triple and then a 2:3 polyrhythm.
