Details:
The Japanese soroban (or abacus) consists of groups of beads divided by a "reckoning bar". In the older soroban, the lower group of five beads are known as "earth beads" and a single upper bead is called the "heavenly bead". Whenever at least one earth bead and the heavenly bead contacts the reckoning bar, a greater fruition of elements becomes possible. In many situations "earth" and "heaven" beads are not united. This interplay creates the formal boundaries of Abacus 32396 for Microprocessors.
In this piece from 1996, the patterns of sound and silence are controlled by processes derived from the bead relationships. The information, fed into microprocessors, then controls all parameters of the sound module. This digital recording is reproduced from the original master tape recording.
