Rhythm

Beginning with the lowest fundamentals, here is an experiment in polyrhythms. Using the root frequencies of R5, R10, R20, R40, R80, and R120 at 75BPM as one rhythmic block, R30 at 112.5BPM and 225BPM as another rhythmic block, and R35 and R70 at 131.25BPM and 525BPM as the last rhythmic block, many polyrhythms are created. At one point there is a ratio of 12:28:11.

The pitches were created by making a short note on each fundamental using the additive Max synth that I made, so the tempos and pitches of each rhythmic block are in the same family. There are three main rhythmic families against each other in polyrhythms. All of these families are related to each other, as branches of the same tree, the foundation being 18.75BPM (or .3125Hz).
