Toothpick Sequence Visualized with Circle of Fifths Harmony | 256 Steps AlgoMotion 2024-03-13 | Visualizing the Toothpick Sequence to 256 steps, with musical harmony based on the circle of fifths.In the The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), the Toothpick Sequence is sequence number A139250: oeis.org/A139250To 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/).________Interested in learning more about algorithms and how to program?

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/).________________________Sources:• Razali, N.

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.0:00 Sierpiński Triangle3:54 Hexagon Chaos Game7:05 Dodecagon Chaos Game10:27 Square Chaos Game________Interested in learning more about fractals, algorithms, and how to program?

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/_7oxzD9SFKoIn the The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), the Toothpick Sequence is sequence number A139250: oeis.org/A139250To 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/).#math #art #music #toothpick #sequence #circleoffifths #musictheory #algorithmicmusic #visualization #mathematics #cellularautomata #algorithm #java #code #computerscience #fractal #hypnotic #mesmerizing #calming #calmingmusic #audiovisual #studymusic #focusmusic

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.

Chat-Controlled Bogosort Music Machine (ChomboSort): Tell Bogosort Which Notes to Play AlgoMotion 2024-02-20 | Full command syntax: bit.ly/chombosort-syntaxBecome a channel member to unlock full access to all commands, including tempo changes, muting instruments, and custom note specification: youtube.com/@AlgoMotion/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.MelodyRootNote.MelodyNoteSpec", for example:Eb.Eb.maj7 C.C.min7 F.F.min7 Bb.Bb.7For 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.________Interested in learning more about algorithms and how to program?
