The Ritmundano project began in 2016 from a convergence of research interests in the fields of systematic musicology, the creation of graphic notations for musical composition, and practices of environmental intervention and urban situational art. Over the years, various publications, artistic creations, pedagogical incursions, and actions in urban spaces have been developed, relating directly or indirectly to the research.

This research project seeks to investigate rhythmic phenomena across various temporal scales, whether in the context of "natural" occurrences (infra-, ultra-, and circadian rhythms, lunar, solar, seasonal temporal references, etc.), or through the cultural and social expressions of rhythms (the rhythms of music, the work week, calendars of rites and festivals, temporalities of social contexts and body techniques, etc.), and also seeks to discuss rhythms as a creative process. Rhythm is a word of Greek origin that can be originally understood as "organization in the flow of time" or "organized flow." The notion of rhythm, although its core meaning is linked to the field of music, is transversal to various spheres of human thought and action.

Within the scope of academic research, the project is based on a transdisciplinary bibliography (involving philosophies of duration, anthropology of time, phenomenology of temporal processes, chronobiology, etc.). Initially, the research started from two complementary and basic reference works: "Elements of Rhythm" by Aristoxenus of Tarentum (ca. 343 BC) and "Elements of Rhythm Analysis" by Henri Lefebvre (1992). Although separated by "disciplinary zones" (music X social sciences) and by a significant time difference, these two works address rhythm from a very similar formal, empirical, and perceptive perspective, and Lefebvre's work can be considered an indirect heir to Aristoxenus's conceptions.

Also within the scope of research, workshops are developed, and in 2018 a curricular component on Human and Mundane Rhythms was offered in the specialization in Citizenship and Cultural Environments, offered at CECULT-UFRB.
