The Euclidean Rythm is described by Godfried T. Toussaint in a 2005 paper "The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms"[1] He describes how the Euclidean algorithm can generate a variety of World Music rhythms.[1]

Other uses of Euclid's algorithm in music

In the 17th century Conrad Henfling writing to Leibniz about music theory and the tuning of musical instruments makes use of Euclid's algorithm in his reasoning.[2]
