Some key books on rhythmanalysis (including where it all started of course) and related thinking about time and temporalities. If you are interested in working out how to do rhythmanalysis (not that there is one way to do so), Dawn Lyon’s book is a great starting place

Websites

Rhuthmos. This is an impressive website that provides a mass of resources for the study of rhythms across all sorts of different contexts and disciplines. Particularly focused on French language sources.

DEMAND Centre. The research centre at Lancaster University during which ideas for the Energy and Rhythm book were initially developed. The Centre shut down when funding ended, but the legacy website is packed full of resources on concepts, energy demands of many different forms, including time-based perspectives and analyses of ‘peaks, trends and rhythms’.
