Rhythm Lab
Euclidean rhythms that orbit each other.
The Rhythm Lab spreads a number of hits as evenly as possible across a number of steps — the Euclidean algorithm behind the tresillo, the clave and many traditional rhythms. Each lane is a ring with its own length. Different lengths run against each other and create polymeters that only repeat after many bars.
