At first blush I thought maybe it would become a sound wave formula or something. I had to turn the volume up a bit more before I figured it out.

There’s a thing in biomusicology called entrainment, it’s the unconscious synchronization to an external rhythm. So if you’re listening to music your [breaths might unconsciously synch to the beat](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16199412). Or you might write in synch with the melody.

Of course you can do so consciously, too.
