Polyrhythm = Polymeter?

This phenomenon is quite interesting to me, so I had to make this video.

Thanks to watch.

Lol took me awhile to get it tbh but the fact that the polyrhythms were single tones and the polymeters were musical scales helped put it into perspective for me

A polyrythm is two groups of evenly spaced notes playing at the same time, but they play at different numbers. A polymeter is two different time signatures playing at the same time.

so simple and easy to understand, man i love your videos

Polyrhythm in a nutshell
Triangle: Hey, Square
Square: What, I’m trying to bite my (ridiculously overcooked) sandwich!
Triangle: Do you mind passing me da _BUTTER?_
Square: *sigh* Fine…

Polymeter in a nutshell
Pentagon: Square, this music is kinda dry…
Square: Yeah, your right. We need another shape to help.
Triangle: *explodes wall*
Heptagon and Hexagon: WATCH OUT!
*bass drop*

Why this sound like the audio at the end of an emotional movie. Like the reveal that the polymeters sound like a polyrhythm-
Am i making sense-?

[Toprak]

The most obvious difference is that a polyrhythm uses the same note and a polymeter constantly goes up or down every note.

I just realized it makes a kinda polyrhythm, just isolate the 1's only and you get a polyrhythm

[Eagertail]

ngl it took me like 3 watches to fully get what you were showing but its really cool now i get it!

[mapae]

Polyrhythm: 1/3 vs. 1/4
Polymeter: 3 vs 4

Now we need a custom for both
Polyrythm Builder
Polymeter Builder

Thank you this explains what I've been trying to explain to people for a while now and I just get so jumbled up lol

0:25 Squarareanglgle
0:42 Squarareanglgle + Squareangle

[AndyChamberlainMusic]

lovely! I'll be referring people to this for sure

[popcycles]

Holy crap. So at the end you added both polyrhythm and polymeter on top of eachother!

[Notyapirrus]

Very interesting but I'm too stupid to understand that.

[RobinLinnHtet]

You can use polymeters to make a polyrhythm by looking at the first corners of the shapes. Or you can use your mouth like Po- ly- rhy- thm- is- fun. Repeat it like 4 times. You can also count like 1, 2 3, 4, 5 6. Also repeat that 4 times. You can also use VS Code, if you don't know how to make polyrhythms on VS Code, it's ok. You can watch a tutorial that PCC Free Space made. Now you can make a polyrhythm.

[Urdledot]

Can you make a song with them both together?

[IdealIdeas]

Polyrhythm, the note takes the same amount of time traveling all corners of a shape regardless of points. Causing 1 point to play for all shapes at the same time.
Polymeter, The more points takes the note longer to hit each corner

[kfmdre]

I understand it but it's a tricky one. It's more like something you've got to "feel"

What app or program did u use to make this animation? I need the 3:2 one but it comes with layers and accents... heeelp
