Evidence behind theories about musical meter andrhythm is based on averages across empirical sets of data. Theoryis also commonly forged from general observations of musicpractices. Ethnomusicology describes rhythm and dance based onpatterning characterizations inside cultures. Without neglecting thevalue of that knowledge, so far we know very little about howindividuals´ bodies respond to music. Derivation of common lawsfrom controlled experimentation may have obfuscated theunderstanding of differences between individuals, their music,movements and dance. How large are these differences asexpressed, and how our bodies map these idiosyncrasies arequestions that still need answers. In this paper we carry out twocase studies of individual involvement with music, bringing adetailed account of the peculiarities arising from their freemovement responses to music. Using the state-of-the-art motioncapture technologies and a set of analytical techniques we describethe participant´s metric embodied experience, and the idiosyncraticdifferences in their responses to music.
