How it's made
- Source
- turbulent air over bare ice; independent pink and white noise form a wide, leafless wind bed.
- Body
- ice-sheet flexure rings at 48-240 Hz in inharmonic modes with 0.5-3 s decays; distant fractures combine a softened 12 ms onset, a spreading noise tail and delayed, darker structural arrivals.
- Envelope
- wind breathes over 5-30 s and brightens with gusts; major cracks recur at irregular 5-15 s intervals, with 1.8-3.8 s tails. No cavern reverb: the low tails belong to the ice itself.
- Events
- stick-slip ice creaks last 0.4-1.6 s, with curved 480-2200 Hz bands and weaker upper bands; their smooth attacks and low-pass filtering avoid glass-shatter clicks and piercing pure tones.
- Variation
- seeded timing, strength, modal detuning, glide direction and pan vary independently. Wind controls air pressure, fractures control crack rate and weight, creaks control surface activity, and thickness lowers and lengthens plate modes. Presets span stillness, pressure, gale and thin ice.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| fractures | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Fracture activity |
| creaks | 0 – 1 | 0.45 | — | Crystal creaks |
| thickness | 0 – 1 | 0.7 | — | Ice thickness |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
