Why Some Rhythms Feel Good — and Others Feel… Off
Rhythm isn’t about BPM or flashy drums.
It’s about how your body reacts to sound.
In this episode, we break down why some grooves feel natural and grounding—while others feel awkward, unbalanced, or instantly uncomfortable.
We explore:
- The difference between beat and rhythm
- Why your body naturally syncs to certain pulses (entrainment)
- How rhythm connects to balance, movement, and social bonding
- Why “awkward rhythms” become memes
- How sound choice and orchestration shape emotional response
- Practical producer lessons for pop, EDM, worship, and beyond
If something in your track isn’t landing, the problem might not be the notes—it might be how they’re placed in time.
Rhythm isn’t decoration.
It’s the engine.
