euclidean¶

• this is one of the generative music algirms I use frequently
• euclidean patterns sound good to the ear and can add simplicity or complexity
• some combinations greatly extend the duration of a rhythm
• you can use euclidean rhythms to make music sound less repetitive
• they spread a given number of notes accross a set period of time
• 4/4 is what people are familiar with like a kick drum on 1,2,3,4
• a common beat is kick, snare, kick, snare
• techno is boots & pants & boots & pants
• historically people have written using euclidean rhythms before there was a name for it
• typically they use even and odd combinations
• music hardware and software can quickly generate euclidean music this is why I am a big fan
