How it's made
- Source
- a wooden match rubs a gritty box strip for 0.13-0.38 s; filtered noise and irregular 2-9 ms grains model friction, with a rising spectral centre as the hand accelerates.
- Body
- the match and cardboard add weak, heavily damped 640/1630/2780 Hz modes, not a ringing tone.
- Ignition
- the head catches near the end of the stroke; a 9 ms attack opens a bright 2-8 kHz chemical fizz which decays over 0.25 s, with a few rounded microbursts rather than hard impulses.
- Tail
- quiet pink-noise combustion swells under the flare then loses high frequencies and level; the small flame settles into near silence by 1.4 s. No large-fire bass or added room reverb.
- Variation
- seeded grain spacing, grain duration, strength and mode tuning vary each strike. Stroke time, grit, head charge and tail length distinguish quick, coarse, gentle and full-head presets.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| stroke | 0.13 – 0.38 | 0.25 | s | Stroke length |
| grit | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Strip roughness |
| charge | 0 – 1 | 0.55 | — | Head charge |
| tail | 0.7 – 1.22 | 1.12 | s | Flame tail |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
