euriddm

Euriddm is a pattern generator and visualizer. It overlays three separate rhythmic patterns.

Each pattern is generated using Euclidean Rhythm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_Rhythm)
Euclidean patterns are very interesting because they sound very 'human', and layering three of them with different pattern lengths and accents creates interesting effects, reminding a bit of the compositional approach of Steve Reich, Brian Eno, etc.

The reference for implementing the algorhythm was this excellent paper by Godfried Toussaint: http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf

I changed the algorhythm slightly to include multiple accent dynamic, so that each measure has one main accent but can also have seconday accents.
