Rhythm-ilton; the flow of Hamilton by Mo Wootten

Bringing the rhythm of Hamilton to life through data, this visualisation transforms the show’s vocal dynamics into striking waveforms. Inspired by the sine waves that carry sound, each song takes shape as a unique, undulating pattern where wave height reflects the number of vocalists—rising with ensemble moments and dipping for solos—while wave frequency captures the length of each line.

The result is a visually rich interpretation of the musical’s intricate composition, revealing how voices layer, shift, and build momentum. Choruses stand apart, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s lyrical craftsmanship comes to the forefront in a whole new way.
