I program an E(8,19) Euclidean Rhythm over a 4/4 time signature using a Teenage Engineering OP-1 Synthesizer. Listen to that luscious polyrhythmic awesomeness.
For mathematicians or contemporary musicians out there, the euclidean algorithm is: E(8,19) over a 4/4 time signature.
For people who don't know what that means, 8 notes are played as evenly spaced as mathematically possible within a series of 19 notes. All of which is quantized to 16th-notes and looped over bars of 4/4. The melody has 19 notes, which is not divisible evenly by 8. So both the melody and rhythm sequence have offset, out of phase loop points. Meanwhile the drummer is just blissfully ignorant, keeping a nice steady 4/4 groove.
