The clinical title emphasizes methodology over mysticism - appropriate for this period of technological transition when Akita was systematically exploring new tools' capabilities. "Process" suggests procedure, algorithm, step-by-step transformation. The numbered designation reflects systematic investigation as he developed fluency in his new digital language.

Unlike more poetically titled works, Process 9611 announces its interest in how sounds are made rather than what they mean. This transparency about method characterizes much of Akita's transitional work, as if he wanted to document the learning process itself.
