Golden Breakbeats

Mathematician Michael Schneider saw a wave form of the well-known drum sequence known as the Amen Break (a drum sequence performed by Gregory Coleman of The Winstons), which has been sampled and used by countless artists since it was recorded in the 60s. Schneider, seeing the waveform through the eyes of a math professor, recognized a pattern, a relationship called the Golden Ratio. So he began to analyze the drum sequence and its deeper meaning...

Check out the results.
