Rotating Polygons on the Circle of Fifths | Surprising Results!
Rotating 10 regular polygons on the circle of fifths to produce musical sequences.
The first couple of regular polygons (the triangle and the square) have easy-to-foresee musical results, but others are not so obvious until you see/hear them!
This visualization was written in Java using a graphical library called Processing (), and Java’s built-in MIDI library for sound (package ).
