The Space of All Possible Rap: Our main question for the weekend is can we create a modeling system–informed by the most powerful ideas in neuroscience, music theory, and linguistics–that empowers us to explore new structures of rap that are yet undiscovered? And in doing this, does it challenge our expectations so much that the very way we define rap to begin with must change forever?

The Space of All Possible Rhythms (And Rhymes) Salon
July 17th 4pm

- An in-person salon + Q&A on bridging the worlds of music theory, complex systems, and rap as we explore the combinatorial space of all possible rhythms and rhymes, and how rhythms are measured and perceived across different kinds of minds and languages.

Rap Theory & Complex Systems Hackathon 
July 18th-19th 10am to 7pm

- The first ever Rap Theory Hackathon at MIT asking ourselves one question: what would happen if we brought together the most creative minds in music and rap, science and philosophy in a space where they had the freedom to truly experiment and test their strangest ideas?
