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:    • Bouncing Ball Polyrhythm Coding Livestreams
