Bead Game by Dennis H. Miller is a piece from the Circular Reasoning collection. Emanating from a single point, Bead Game unfolds in concentric waves of rotating, shifting geometries. A swarm of minute spheres navigates a wireframe lattice, drifting, colliding, and reconfiguring in a dynamic choreography of constraint and liberation. Driven by procedural systems and guided by a spacious, evolving score, the piece explores the interplay between structure and spontaneity, control and freedom.

It is a restrained, meditative soundscape that mirrors the work's deliberate pacing, inviting reflection on growth, return, and the quiet intelligence of circular motion. Through recursive patterns and rhythmic restraint, Bead Game evokes a sense of expansion and return, suggesting that progress, like the circle, is an endless loop of transformation.
