while on tour to Pointe Noire from Brazzaville, they traveled via train overnight and after many hours of hearing the churning, rhythmic sound of the

This media depicts a
rhythm outside of a specific musical context. Rhythms without melody or harmony (no "
distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a rhythm is a musical concept or technique, which is considered
too simple to be eligible for
copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
