Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

One of the things about polyrhythm flowers is that they seem alot more affective for long shutter photographs rather than live spins.
I guess we'll just have to play with it and see .

cool - i hadn't even started spinning poi six years ago!
i was going to say that i can't believe no-one has bothered to write it up in all that time, but from what i've seen over the past couple of years as far as how few people actaully spin patterns like this is concerned, its not so suprising.
boleadoras indeed use lots of polyrhythm patterns and, i should think, and obviously have the big advantage of aural feedback which helps solidify the techniques - being able to hear what beats you are hitting is almost priceless when dealing with muliple rhythms.
interestingly, boleadoras tackle this area of spinning from the opposite direction - the rhythms required almost entirely dictate the patterns, rather than choosing a pattern and then investigating which polyrhythms apply to it (as we tend to do with poi).
do you know if boleadoras has a written notation at all pele?
drum sheet music would work i guess but is obviously far from ideal.

I don't think that you have to find a rhythms and see how the polys fit in. Truthfully, I think that is a limiting.
I agree with counting out the rhythms as suggested but I also think it takes an entire shift in thought for most people. The poi need to be thought of as instruments and not tools. The right would be the dun, the left the teka..for example.
When that is done it can be combined limitlessly...starting like all with basic patterns then moving to complex.
This is how I envision any style of poi rhythm, which perhaps means I am stuck mentally on the name of what you are doing (polyrhythm means musical to me) instead of how you mean for it to be done.

i reckon you'll agree that, with poi, its always the second kind of pattern that you get when you spin antispin?

i disagree, i can think of quite a few non-isolated antispin patterns i spin with poi.
although they tend to be half-beat sections bookended by other stuff, rather than full circles.
