Bouncing Ball Polyrhythm Visualizations

Common useful polyrhythms and some meme polyrhythms visualized as perfectly elastic bouncing balls. The balls are released from platforms such that they begin bouncing at the same time. They bounce according to the rules of Newtonian physics, assuming there’s no air resistance, no losses due to friction, etc. (i.e. “perfectly elastic“ bounces). Each ball in a given polyrhythm gets “highlighted“ while the others are “dampened“ to help you hear and understand the individual parts of the polyrhythm in their relation to the whole. Most of the process of creating of this video was live streamed. Those interested in the coding process and technologies used can watch the livestream VODs here: Other videos from @AlgoMotion you might enjoy: ▶ ▶ ▶ 0:00 2:3 0:32 2:5 1:05 3:4 1:43 3:5 2:28 4:5 3:12 5:7 3:57 7 : 11 4:53 69:420 6:12 3:4:5 7:02 5:6:7 8:00 2:3:4:5:6 (Jacob Collier One-Hand Polyrhythm) ________ Interested in learning more about algorithms and how to program?
