I know that the damaja (where is he BTW) would disagree but the classical music theory that still informs how we think about music in theoretical terms was heavily biased towards the harmony/melody rather than the rhythm axis. Harmony and melody are pretty much two applications of the same things, meanwhile there are not two different terms for rhythm in the horisontal vs. vertical sense. Rhythmic theory is really poverty-stricken compared with the stuff that concerns melody and harmony; that doesn't mean that a lot of stuff can't be written about it...

And BTW, *I* would never say that shit about music made on computers...
