Digging in to Euclidean Rhythms: Prime numbers cool rhythms and odd time signatures

Follow
Sound + Voltage

Euclidean Rhythms are a relatively new discovery, but really it's just some basic math that captures a lot of common (and uncommon) rhythms and meters. You don't need a special module to play with them, you just have to know what they are and that's what this video is for.

There's even a whole 'zoo' of rhythms at the end that you can plug into a trigger sequencer and get started with. If you're not interested in the history, context, and math stuff, you can jump straight to the Euclidean Basics chapter.

[Note: Around the 10 minute point there is an inconsistency between what I am saying and what the music is doing. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it now, but it is a known issue]

If you want to refer back to the material at all, it is all available for download at https://bit.ly/euclideanrhythms
