"The camera pans drone-like through Giger-esque landscapes that create a vastness in their detail—and occasionally nod to the curved roofs of Japanese Buddhist temples."

-THE CREATORS PROJECT

A Soroban, or ancient Japanese abacus, could be considered one of the first computing machines. This is not a Soroban. It's merely an abstract, fractal interpretation of a really deep Soroban. www.julius-horsthuis.com rendered in Mandelbulb3D The music - naturally - is totally ripped from the second Ghost in the Shell movie, 'Innocence'. Composed by the amazing Kenji Kawai.

Background

I had rendered this one a long time before releasing the piece because I could not find any fitting soundtrack for it. Also, the shapes were interesting, but there wasn't any climax in the animation. When going through the old Ghost in the Shell music from Kenji Kawai, I thought it was a great fit for this piece, and I added the Japanese characters and eastern color scheme to enhance that feel.
