  • What are Euclidean Rhythms? In this video, we explore the intersection of math and music to generate traditional world rhythms.
    Check out our article on Euclidean Rhythms for more details!

    I am a physicist at CERN - I have re-calibrated the large hadron collider to make beats for my dubstep tracks...

    This is really cool!
    I had never heard about Euclidean Rhythms until I watched this video!
    It's like a whole new world of beats opened up for me!
    THANKS!~

    Great explanation, Joe. After figuring out the rhythm, it's also fun to decide which beat of the measure the sequence will start, like changing the start position in a looping MIDI clip.

    Fascinating. I knew about the end product- Ruismaker‘s Rozeta Rhythm app does a very nice job of eight-part Euclidean rhythms- but I must confess to not having been aware of the theory. That is no longer the case!

    Expert Sleepers' Disting mk3 and mk4 also have Euclidian rythm generators! They can do almost anything, they're great for filling up some gaps in your modular.

    This makes a random music generator much simpler! It's interesting the fact that the rythms we prefer all have that strong mathematical affinity.

    I would love to use this in my thesis title proposal as a video presentation in the Application of the Euclidean Algorithm
    xD It's a great and informative video so i figured that I'd use this

      That's awesome! where are you studying, and will the thesis be available to read? I'll link it in the description if so, once completed!

    • @princejheremiasabrencillo5967
      @princejheremiasabrencillo5967 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      give me an email to send it
      I'm from the Philippines, but the panel said that i should apply it to our University songs :3

    hello, can you write please the most even distribution for (7,12)? thank you

    • @voltagecontrollab
      @voltagecontrollab  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +acc.nr.2 Hi there, check out the original pdf doc about Euclidean Rhythms, it has an example of the set (7,12) and some references to what world styles use the generated rhythm... cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf

  • @charliebroadhead9851
    @charliebroadhead9851 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Am I right in thinking that Euclidean Rhythms work best when using odd vs even and vice versa? e.g. E (5,8) or E (4,9) or E (5,16) or E (7,12) ? Just a common correlation that I spotted..

    When you need some semi-complex math algorithm to explain how to make a simple four to the floor kick, basically.
    I have yet to find anything that sounds good, generated by Euclidean rhythm generators. Maybe there's something somewhere and I haven't found it yet in the sea of boring stuff.

    • @voltagecontrollab
      @voltagecontrollab  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I mean, it generates virtually every traditional rhythm in the world, so if you have a problem with the sound, it's probably not the Euclidean rhythms...

  • @jayocaine2946
    @jayocaine2946 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah but how does this require euclidean algorithm?

    • @chesterVonWinchester
      @chesterVonWinchester 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The video explains a method of repeated insertion of 0's and 1's starting around 1:26. This algorithm turns out to have the same structure as the Euclidean algorithm. I agree that the connection was not made clear in the video. But, check out Godfried Toussaint's original paper for more details. It's pretty short.

  • @raykent3211
    @raykent3211 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The start of beethoven's fifth is very non-"euclidean ". Most music too.

  • @MarkTillotson
    @MarkTillotson 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    But this isn't about the gcd() function at all, should at least check the maths! Its related to
    both spectrum sequences of rational numbers and to Bressenham's line-drawing algorithm

    • @voltagecontrollab

      Lol, you can take it up with Godfried Toussaint I suppose!

    So, a dude from North America "discovered" rhythms in 2005 that have been used for thousands of years by people of other cultures?

    • @voltagecontrollab
      @voltagecontrollab  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      No, he discovered that the rhythms that have been used for thousands of years by people of other cultures resembled the algorithms used for number distribution used by nuclear physicists. You can read the paper he wrote.
