During his investigations into methods for generating symmetric passing patterns, Cristophe Prechac came across a March 1994 post by Tarim titled “A new class of…
An elegant method for generating symmetric passing patterns from “solo” patterns was proposed by French mathematician and juggler Cristophe Prechac in a post on rec.juggling…
The Multi Hand Notation (MHN) invented by Ed Carstens can handle all the juggling patterns we have discussed so far in this blog series. We…
In part I, we mainly studied two-handed vanilla juggling patterns (one hand throwing one object at a time) in which the “assumptions of convenience” were…
Vanilla siteswap sequences are used to represent vanilla juggling patterns[1] which involve at most one object being thrown at a time. This notation wasn’t meant…
We have now learnt how to represent asynchronous (vanilla and multiplex) and two-handed synchronous (including synchronous multiplex) juggling patterns in siteswap notation. A juggling performance…
In Siteswap Notation III, I wrote about siteswap sequences where more than one object could be thrown at one beat and called them “flavoured siteswaps”.…
Colonel: “Just what … kind of a name is Popinjay anyway?”“It’s Popinjay’s name, sir,” Lieutenant Scheisskopf explained. ~ Catch 22, by Joseph Heller. The etymology of…
In my previous post, we learnt how to identify, create and manipulate valid vanilla siteswap sequences purely as mathematical constructs. In this post, we will…
This first part of a series (that I have grand plans of writing) on the siteswap notation, is intended to serve as an introduction to…
