Genetic Algorithm Solves the Traveling Salesman Problem by Mimicking Evolution

AlgoMotion 2024-07-25 | Watch & hear a genetic algorithm progress as it mimics evolution to solve the traveling salesman problem.

Cities are named after the 12 notes of the chromatic scale, so we have something to listen to as we operate on the graph.

Includes a quick primer on the traveling salesman problem (TSP), conventional approaches to solving it and why they're difficult for larger problem sizes (combinatorial explosion, NP-hardness), some basic heuristics (nearest neighbor algorithm, optimal bitonic tour), and an explanation of genetic algorithms (tournament selection, elitism, crossover, mutation, and a termination condition) and their application to the TSP.

We use "edge recombination crossover" a.k.a. the "edge recombination operator" to crossover parent solutions in the TSP, and "displacement mutation" to mutate offspring.

A genetic algorithm is applied to the TSP with a population of size 20, then again with a population of size 100.

The genetic algorithm visualizations were programmed in Java using a graphical library called Processing (processing.org/).

Sounds of the Collatz Conjecture, Part 2: Generating Raw Frequencies

AlgoMotion 2024-06-11 | Using sequences from the famous unsolved Collatz conjecture to generate audio sequences of raw frequencies.

Part 1: youtu.be/mOKmc099Wcs

The Collatz conjecture is also known as the 3n + 1 problem, the 3x + 1 problem, the Ulam conjecture, Kakutani's problem, the Thwaites conjecture, Hasse's algorithm, or the Syracuse problem.

Three different strategies are used to map the "hailstone sequences" into sequences of frequencies: multiplying each hailstone number by a "base frequency"; multiplying each hailstone number by an increment frequency and adding it to a base frequency; and a logarithmic mapping.

An attack, decay, sustain, release (ADSR) envelope is used on pure sine waves to generate the tones, followed by a gentle low-pass filter to smooth out the perceived loudness across the frequency range.

These visualizations were written in Java using a graphical library called Processing (processing.org/).

Bogosort Music Machine (ChomboSort) 🎵 | Change the Chords by Typing Commands in Chat

AlgoMotion 2024-05-28 | Full command syntax reference: bit.ly/chombosort-syntax

Become a channel member to help keep this channel viable, and unlock full access to all commands, including tempo changes, muting instruments, changing the drum pattern, changing the color theme, and custom note specification: youtube.com/channel/UCuiNK3mwhlVnxNJNyAcr3iw/join
________

Chat-Operated Musical Bogosort (ChomboSort) is an extension of the "Bogosort Sheds" videos from @AlgoMotion, wherein you (the users in chat) control the notes bogosort plays by typing commands.

Bogosort is a (poor) sorting algorithm that attempts to sort a list by randomly shuffling it, checking if it's sorted, and trying again repeatedly until it's sorted. In ChomboSort, the elements in the list are mapped to musical notes which you see and hear being played back in real time as the sort proceeds.

The stream ends when the list is successfully sorted. With an 8-element list, the probability of a successful sort on any pass is 1/(8!) = 1/40,320 ≈ 0.0000248.
________

The general syntax is: "BassNote.MelodyNotes", for example:

Eb.Bbmaj C.Ebmaj7 F.Fmin7 Bb.Bdim7

For a I-vi-ii-V in Eb major.

When you want to use the same melody note root as the bass note, you can use the shorthand notation and just specify a single note, e.g.:

Ebmaj7 Cmin7 Fmin7 Bb7

If no chord is specified, a major chord is assumed, so "C G F G" is valid syntax.

To lower or raise the bass note, use a comma or apostrophe, respectively. For example: "C,.C'maj" plays the bass note an octave lower, and the melody notes an octave higher.

Use "b" and "#" for flat and sharp, respectively. The commands are *not* case sensitive.

If any part of your command is considered invalid syntax, the whole command will be ignored. Refer to the syntax guide (bit.ly/chombosort-syntax) for a complete command reference.

ChomboSort is written primarily in Java using the Processing graphical library (processing.org), and gRPC (grpc.io) to connect the major system components.

Chat-Operated Musical Bogosort (ChomboSort) is an extension of the "Bogosort Sheds" videos from @AlgoMotion, wherein you (the users in chat) control the notes bogosort plays by typing commands.

Bogosort is a (poor) sorting algorithm that attempts to sort a list by randomly shuffling it, checking if it's sorted, and trying again repeatedly until it's sorted. In ChomboSort, the elements in the list are mapped to musical notes which you see and hear being played back in real time as the sort proceeds.

The stream ends when the list is successfully sorted. With an 8-element list, the probability of a successful sort on any pass is 1/(8!) = 1/40,320 ≈ 0.0000248.
________

The general syntax is: "BassNote.MelodyNotes", for example:

Eb.Bbmaj C.Ebmaj7 F.Fmin7 Bb.Bdim7

For a I-vi-ii-V in Eb major.

When you want to use the same melody note root as the bass note, you can use the shorthand notation and just specify a single note, e.g.:

Ebmaj7 Cmin7 Fmin7 Bb7

If no chord is specified, a major chord is assumed, so "C G F G" is valid syntax.

To lower or raise the bass note, use a comma or apostrophe, respectively. For example: "C,.C'maj" plays the bass note an octave lower, and the melody notes an octave higher.

Use "b" and "#" for flat and sharp, respectively. The commands are *not* case sensitive.

If any part of your command is considered invalid syntax, the whole command will be ignored. Refer to the syntax guide (bit.ly/chombosort-syntax) for a complete command reference.

ChomboSort is written primarily in Java using the Processing graphical library (processing.org), and gRPC (grpc.io) to connect the major system components.

Structure from Chaos: Fractals Generated on the Circle of Fifths via the Chaos Game

AlgoMotion 2024-03-20 | Running the chaos game on the circle of fifths, producing music to accompany the beautiful fractals that result.

We start using a triangle on the notes C, E, and A♭ (forming an augmented chord), and play the chaos game to generate the Sierpiński triangle.

Then we use a hexagon on the notes C, D, E, G♭, A♭, and B♭ (a whole-tone scale). For optimal packing, the ratio used to divide the lines in the chaos game is 0.667 for a hexagon.

Next we use all 12 notes (the chromatic scale) to form a dodecagon fractal. The dodecagon is optimally packed with a ratio of 0.789 to divide the lines.

Finally, we use a square (i.e. a diamond) on the notes C, E♭, G♭, and A (forming a diminished 7th chord). Playing the normal chaos game on a square, however, doesn't yield a fractal. It only produces uniform noise within the square. When a simple restriction is added: not allowing any corner to be repeated twice in a row, a beautiful fractal results.

Bogosort is a (poor) sorting algorithm that attempts to sort a list by randomly shuffling it, checking if it's sorted, and trying again repeatedly until it's sorted. In ChomboSort, the elements in the list are mapped to musical notes which you see and hear being played back in real time as the sort proceeds.

The stream ends when the list is successfully sorted. With an 8-element list, the probability of a successful sort on any pass is 1/(8!) = 1/40,320 ≈ 0.0000248.
________

The general syntax is: "BassNote.MelodyNotes", for example:

Eb.Bbmaj C.Ebmaj7 F.Fmin7 Bb.Bdim7

For a I-vi-ii-V in Eb major.

When you want to use the same melody note root as the bass note, you can use the shorthand notation and just specify a single note, e.g.:

Ebmaj7 Cmin7 Fmin7 Bb7

If no chord is specified, a major chord is assumed, so "C G F G" is valid syntax.

To lower or raise the bass note, use a comma or apostrophe, respectively. For example: "C,.C'maj" plays the bass note an octave lower, and the melody notes an octave higher.

Use "b" and "#" for flat and sharp, respectively. The commands are *not* case sensitive.

If any part of your command is considered invalid syntax, the whole command will be ignored. Refer to the syntax guide (bit.ly/chombosort-syntax) for a complete command reference.

ChomboSort is written primarily in Java using the Processing graphical library (processing.org), and gRPC (grpc.io) to connect the major system components.

Toothpick Sequence with Circle of Fifths Harmony #math #fractal #visualization #music

AlgoMotion 2024-03-13 | Visualizing the Toothpick Sequence to 16 steps, with musical harmony based on the circle of fifths.

Longer version (256 steps): youtu.be/_7oxzD9SFKo

In the The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), the Toothpick Sequence is sequence number A139250: oeis.org/A139250

To generate the toothpick sequence, at each step add a toothpick to the end of every "exposed" toothpick. Two toothpicks may never overlap, and the midpoint of each new toothpick must touch the endpoint of exactly one existing toothpick. An endpoint is "exposed" if it does not touch any other toothpick.

At steps of the form 2^k (powers of 2), the number of new toothpicks at those steps are equal to 2^k, and they are always placed along two lines perpendicular to the initial toothpick.

Chord Selection:
=============

The chords move through the circle of fifths until a "power of 2" step is reached. Each chord is selected so that every time we arrive at a "power of 2" step, the chord is a C.

The exact quality of each chord was manually selected for each pitch class (i.e. for all 12 notes). The number of notes in each chord and the MIDI velocity of each note are functions of how many new toothpicks are placed at a given step.

The code for creating this video was written in Java using the Processing graphical library (processing.org/).

Bogosort Sheds Arabesque No. 1 Until it Sorts the List

AlgoMotion 2024-03-06 | Bogosort plays over the changes to Debussy's "Arabesque No. 1" until it sorts the list.

The chord changes are from the first 16 bars of Arabesque No. 1 (looped).
________

The Bogosort algorithm is as follows:

1. Randomly shuffle the list.
2. Check if the list is sorted.
3. If not, go back to 1.

For a list of n elements, there is a 1/n! chance that Bogosort successfully sorts the list on any given pass, since there are n! (n factorial) possible permutations of the list. So with six elements, the probability of the list being sorted on any given pass is 1/6! = 1/720 ≈ 0.00139.

In this instance, the algorithm took 1051 passes to sort the list.

The six elements of the list are mapped to notes of a specific scale or chord, depending on which chord is being played in the progression.

The shuffling algorithm used is the Fisher–Yates Shuffle, from lowest index to highest. The note played is the value of the element at the current index in the outer for-loop of the shuffle algorithm.

Bogosort Sheds Bachs Prelude in C Major (BWV 846) Until it Sorts the List

AlgoMotion 2024-03-02 | Bogosort is taking it back to the early 18th century with some J.S. Bach, Prelude in a C Major (BWV 846) from the Well-Tempered Clavier.

The Bogosort algorithm is as follows:

1. Randomly shuffle the list.
2. Check if the list is sorted.
3. If not, go back to 1.

For a list of n elements, there is a 1/n! chance that Bogosort successfully sorts the list on any given pass, since there are n! (n factorial) possible permutations of the list. So with eight elements, the probability of the list being sorted on any given pass is 1/8! = 1/40,320 ≈ 0.0000248.

In this instance, the algorithm took 3154 passes to sort the list.

The eight elements of the list are mapped to notes of a specific scale or chord, depending on which chord is being played in the progression.

The shuffling algorithm used is the Fisher–Yates Shuffle, from lowest index to highest. The note played is the value of the element at the current index in the outer for-loop of the shuffle algorithm.

Bogosort Sheds Clair de Lune Until it Sorts the List

AlgoMotion 2024-02-29 | Bogosort is going back to the classics, taking on a section of Debussy's "Clair De Lune" until it sorts the list.

Thanks to @pianoinvalhalla for first writing this progression during a ChomboSort live stream (the interactive chat-controlled version of this bogosort audio-visualization).

The Bogosort algorithm is as follows:

1. Randomly shuffle the list.
2. Check if the list is sorted.
3. If not, go back to 1.

For a list of n elements, there is a 1/n! chance that Bogosort successfully sorts the list on any given pass, since there are n! (n factorial) possible permutations of the list. So with six elements, the probability of the list being sorted on any given pass is 1/6! = 1/720 ≈ 0.00139.

In this instance, the algorithm took 1040 passes to sort the list.

The six elements of the list are mapped to notes of a specific scale or chord, depending on which chord is being played in the progression.

The shuffling algorithm used is the Fisher–Yates Shuffle, from lowest index to highest. The note played is the value of the element at the current index in the outer for-loop of the shuffle algorithm.

One Hour Loop of Jacob Colliers One-Hand Polyrhythm Visualized w/ Bouncing Balls 🔴🟢🔵🟠🟣

AlgoMotion 2024-02-24 | Jacob Collier's famous 5-finger polyrhythm, 2:3:4:5:6, visualized with perfectly elastic bouncing balls, looped for an hour.

Each ball gets "highlighted" while the others are "dampened" to help you hear and understand the individual parts of the polyrhythm in their relation to the whole.

The balls bounce according to the rules of Newtonian physics, assuming there's no air resistance, no losses due to friction, etc. (i.e. "perfectly elastic" bounces).

Most of the process of creating of this video was live streamed. Those interested in the coding process and technologies used can watch the livestream VODs here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLalbhJlZQkkkPc9k0-hpq-cSoHoKDDiZR

The general syntax is: "BassNote.MelodyRootNote.MelodyNoteSpec", for example:

Eb.Eb.maj7 C.C.min7 F.F.min7 Bb.Bb.7

For a I-vi-ii-V in Eb major.

To lower or raise the bass note, use a comma or apostrophe, respectively. For example: "C,.C'.maj" plays the bass note an octave lower, and the melody notes an octave higher.

Use "b" and "#" for flat and sharp, respectively. The commands are *not* case sensitive.

If any part of your command is considered invalid syntax, the whole command will be ignored. Refer to the syntax guide (bit.ly/chombosort-syntax) for a complete command reference.

ChomboSort is written primarily in Java using the Processing graphical library, and gRPC to connect the major system components.

MIDI Art: Charlie Parker on Sax Plays Donna Lee #midiart #music #algorithm #computervision

AlgoMotion 2024-02-15 | An image of Charlie Parker playing sax gets converted into MIDI art that plays his tune "Donna Lee".

The algorithm for generating a MIDI file from a given image is roughly:

1. Run edge detection on the original image.
2. Dilate the grayscale edge image.
3. Downsample the image to a height matching the number of notes in the desired range.
4. Convert the downsampled image to MIDI by constraining the notes to certain pitches over time.
