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

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 00:00 - Intro 01:11 - History & Context 01:49 - Divisors & Relative primeness 04:50 - Euclidean basics 09:02 - Demos
