What is Euclidean sequence?
Without getting too bogged down in the underlying theory, Euclidean rhythms have their roots in Greek mathematician Euclid's algorithm and involve using the greatest common divisor of two numbers to place hits in a sequence as evenly as possible across a set timing division.
What is Euclidean music?
The Euclidean rhythm in music was discovered by Godfried Toussaint in 2004 and is described in a 2005 paper "The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms". ... The beats in the resulting rhythms are as equidistant as possible; the same results can be obtained from the Bresenham algorithm.
What are Euclidian patterns?
Euclid is a rhythmic pattern generator based on ideas originally presented by Euclid, the Greek mathematician. The Euclidean algorithm can be adapted to create rhythms by taking the total number of active steps in a sequence, and then distributing them across the entirety of the pattern.
