Klappentext

What does it mean to stay creatively alive for over 60 years? At twenty, Michael Shrieve played the drum solo heard around the world at Woodstock. By twenty-five, he walked away from Santana at the height of their success - not because he failed, but because competence had become confining. What followed was six decades of reinvention: collaborations with David Crosby, Mick Jagger, Steve Winwood, John McLaughlin, Jack DeJohnette, Zakir Hussain, and dozens of other visionary musicians. Explorations in electronic music with Klaus Schulze and Steve Roach. Partnerships with Stomu Yamashta and Bill Laswell. Therapeutic sound. And a relentless refusal to let expertise become a cage. INVISIBLE RHYTHMS is not an autobiography. It's a field guide to the long game - a book about recognizing the signal before you can explain it, protecting your curiosity when the world wants you to settle, and building a life where the work finally starts working on you. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an entrepreneur, or someone who has always felt "wired differently," this book is for you. The lessons are drawn from a lifetime of creative risk, but they belong to anyone who has ever felt pulled toward something they couldn't yet explain.
