# Beaded Orbit Medusa

A ribbed gill disc, scalloped and speckled, unchanging, hung inside four orbit rings that each change species on their own schedule. Each ring is one wire under six interpolated numbers, so it morphs by deforming, not cross-fading, through four forms: heavy lozenge chain, beaded ring, studded thorn ring, bare hair wire. Bass fattens the beads and swells the disc, treble strips the rings to wire, and the change sweeps ring by ring. Rests as the beaded ring.
