Glass Shard Debris Settle

How it's made

Source

already broken glass tips, rebounds and slides across a floor; no initial breaking impact. Contacts use 0.4-0.8 ms attacks and 1.5-4 ms band-limited noise excitation.

Body

each fragment retains four inharmonic flexural modes, ratios 1 : 1.73 : 2.91 : 4.37. Fundamentals span 1.1-4.3 kHz; upper modes are capped below 13 kHz and damp fastest.

Envelope

7-16 primary contacts spread over 1.9 s with increasing gaps and falling energy. Each fragment rebounds 1-2 times at shrinking 25-85 ms intervals and 0.32-0.48 amplitude ratios. Modal T60 is 45-260 ms; the final contact dies naturally before the 2.5 s endpoint.

Slides

four separate 55-210 ms friction strokes, band-pass noise with a falling 3.8-1.2 kHz centre. Irregular amplitude ripples model edge stick-slip; slide energy and duration decrease with time.

Variation

seeded size, mode mistuning, contact energy, timing, floor position and friction grain. Size lowers pitch; floor hardness extends ringing; slide sets friction relative to tinkles.

Presets

tiny sparse chips, crisp tile scatter, damped wood debris, and larger sliding shards. Dry stereo placement is stable through each fragment's rebounds; no reverberation is added.
