How it's made

Source
an empty bottle rolling on concrete; continuous friction is pink noise at 65-1600 Hz. Aggregate contacts add 1-5 ms filtered noise excitations, not naked digital impulses.
Body
the enclosed air contributes a damped 185-320 Hz hollow mode; glass wall modes have inharmonic ratios 1, 1.47, 2.31, 3.68 and 5.13 above 650-1120 Hz, with 45-230 ms T60.
Envelope
eccentric rolling groups contacts at 1.2-3.5 turns/s; each turn has a weaker trailing contact. Smaller aggregate rattles occur between turns. Continuous motion sustains a 6 s loop.
Modulation
rotating contact pressure modulates rumble and grit together, with slow irregular spectral movement. Contact damping keeps the bottle ringing briefly rather than like a bell.
Variation
seeded timing, strength and excitation colour vary; glass tuning stays fixed per bottle. Presets distinguish heavy slow rolling, small bright glass, rough fast rolling and eccentric wobble.
Space
dry close perspective, centred object with no baked room or exaggerated stereo movement.
