BPM

Solo juggling · Noah Schiltknecht

Rhythm becomes harmony

BPM is built on one idea: rhythm and harmony are the same phenomenon at radically different speeds. Accelerate a metronome far enough and its clicks blur into a pitch; harmony is polyrhythm too fast to count. The act lives at the transition point — where rhythm dissolves into an undecipherable mess and then resolves into tones that are pleasant again.

Noah traced the same spectrum through his body: beginning so loose he can barely move, passing through the comfortable middle where most juggling skill lives, into maximum tension — until the body becomes rigid, a statue that juggles.
