Corrosion Palette 2. Copper.

The Corrosion Palette for copper was also provided by J.Braham. Perhaps the copper palette could be used on the opposing side of the fulcrum on the plinth. Here, also, tranluscent coloured square slabs could be used. This is easily achieved by pouring resin into printed transparencies which impregnates the surface of the resin. This was tested successfully in the production of the 6 'Counterbalance and Stops' of the original game.

Corrosion Palette. 1. Iron and Steel.

It was originally thought that corrosion palette would be used on the upper stave area: upon reflection it is better used on the lower support (plinth) area to suggest an 'undermining' of fundamental structure. This palette has been developed by J.Braham. Perhaps a system of transluscent coloured and layered skins could be arranged on the plinth surface. In the original game pixelated images from skin tones were used.

Object Collisions and Sound

The animation illustrates how the positioning of upper objects will be assigned a musical note according to its position on the stave. You will need to have your sound turned on to hear. The animation is only an indication of the musical aspect of the game.
Music from the original Glass Bead Game (in piano format) is available for future possible orchestration.

Object and Palette Library .

This is the first bacteria image from a 3D model . The palette below the image is taken from Chromogenic Bacteria samples selected by and made up into a 'scale' format J.Braham . The colour on the model is the 7th on the scale. RGB values of the colours can be provided to 3D modellers for texture mapping. Currently the object library contains 1 virus, 1 cell and 1 bacteria. The positioning of these objects on the stave will (as in the 1st Glass Bead Game) reflect musical notes. Whilst objects in the original game were placed on the pivoted stave with the intention of reaching harmony and balance, the dynamic of Glass Bead War may log 'impacts' rather than 'placements'.
