this is actually quite genius! The way that the added percussion makes you actually focus on a single rhythm while the other one supports it, really makes you understand how theyre supposed to sound!
@@leif1075 i have absolutely no idea what the purpose of this "subjectivity" is for what youre talking about. Nor that i see any. the percussion makes you focus on a single rhythm because the percussion is literally *made* for that rhythm, hence how it sounds more pronounced for the rhythm its accompanied with. Its there to tell you what to listen to because paying attention to multiple polythms at the same time is confusing on its own, which is why i like this video, because a lot of "polyrhythm" showcase videos just show you the beeps without much auditory explanation for you to understand it
@@leif1075 Thats not exactly subjectivity, no? A sign on the road cant be any less subjectively helpful if you didnt focus enough to pay attention to it, its.. still there, and makes the road objectively more readable with it instead of without

2 + 3 and 4 + 3 are my favorites. 2 + 3 sounds like something you would hear in a visual novel 4 + 3 sounds like something you’d hear in an action movie trailer
@ElectroX7 Series 4 + 3 sounds like a Terminator trailer to be more specific. Imagine the beeps being those metallic “thumps” from the main theme from that movie
3 over 2: Nice cup of tea, nice cup of tea... where "nice, cup, tea" are the 3 beats. 4 over 3: Pass the goddamn butter! (Pass, the, damn, -ter are the 4, god/but- are our other beats of 3. :)
I love how adding the beat and then moving it from the fewer subdivisions to greater subdivisions doesn't actually change the speed of the beat, but certainly feels like it does.
I'd love to see a version where the shapes don't separate side by side - the overlay was a really cool and easy to follow visual to see where the beats coincide.
i was so confused on what "poly rhythms" actually was, and this video explained it, without words, and perfectly well for someone who doesn't understand music theory AT ALL. i actually understand it! thank you!!
The first sequence of 2:3 through 4:5 is the same as it happens in the intro of "Fanfare for Effective Freedom" by Horse Lords, much recommended listen if you're into polyrhythms and odd meters.
I just saw one of these that just kept increasing, never actually becoming music and I thought this was gonna be the same. When it started adding rhythms I was pleasantly surprised and I actually got excited when the beats showed up.
Dude i never knew i was so good at just making up polyrhythms. I have ultra adhd and a buncha other similar mental disorders. And sometimes i just doot doot doot out whatever comes to mind when im bored making food or something. That 4+5 polyrhythm i find very familiar. Also that 3+4 one, that's a classic.
This is a fantastic representation. As a novice piano player, having to play triplet notes with the right hand while playing quavers in my left makes me brain hurt quite a lot.
Whats really crazy about this is, if you play drums and just kinda know how to do it, this is how drumbeats are constructed, like some of us just do this polyrhythm shit without even knowing
Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for a way of better understanding the way different types of traditional African percussion rhythms are layered together. This helps a lot.
Polyrhythms can difficult for me to try on piano because I have to balance at least two rhythms at once. But this is a very helpful representation thank you
For one you can vary the circumference of the polygons and the speed of traversal through them to obtain probably every combination possible, also you can use different geometric shapes.
I'm imagining a little V-Tuber or X-tan type avatar called "Polly Rhythm" who explains these things to people. Her outfit is covered in all the little geometric shapes and timing bars.
If my music teachers were able to use an animation like these to explain polyrhythms to me, I'd have understood the music theory side much better and earlier. I could play polyrhythms easily, but it took me many years to grasp _what_ I was playing or be able to read some sheet music and play it back. A very cool video for sure.
@@nohintshere hi I actually got to know about polyrhythms thanks to adofai, so yeah, im here now mostly out of curiosity since i did not know how polyrhythms worked

This would be amazing for a visual novel. Each character gets their own rhythm and they combine when there’s multiple characters on screen.

It definitely sounds better when the beat is at the same rate as the lower rhythm and the rhythms are only one frequency apart.
4 + 3 and drum beats based on 3 had a pretty nice sound.
Not necessarily
agree
I still like 3-5
I disagree, I liked 2-3 on 3 better
This is perhaps the most illustrative video I've seen on polyrhythms, it helps a lot when it plays along with a beat
Circle's been real quiet since this dropped 🔥🔥🔥
I would assume the reason being that it’s a continuous tone that carries no beat.
this comment is amazing
Woooww
@@sjcflawlessYooo :D
@@sjcflawlessThat just means that circle is busy doing the melody while the polygons do the rhythm!
It's interesting how the experience of the 'melody parts' changes dramatically depending on the 'rhythm parts'.

I've never imagined what a polyrhythm of 3/4/5 would be like.. it almost spins, such a complicated pulse of beats. It's strangely relaxing
I love how you correlated the pitches to their degree in the harmonic series!

I like how when the beats come in, when the number of beats is the number of sides the shape has, the circle syncs with the beats.

This is a fantastic representation. As a novice piano player, having to play triplet notes with the right hand while playing quavers in my left makes me brain hurt quite a lot.
I like how we all just collectively use 4 beats everywhere now, even in every single rhythm game as the default beats.
You just made something really complex really easy to understand. Good job

I’m very visual and can not sort these rhythms out by ear. Thanks for this animation-now I get it!!
I love the pitch of each "n beat" is chosen as "n-th overtone" of C. Small detail but I love it!
I love how the beat makes the illusion of the melody being different

I can wrap my head around the first 2 combinations, but the more complex ones are just beyond me.
