How it's made
- Source
- stiff palm leaflets slap, rebound and scrape as coastal gusts bend adjacent fronds. Filtered 1-4 ms noise contacts excite dry shells; softer 4 ms contacts excite thick leaf ribs.
- Body
- leaf shells have broad 0.9-3.8 kHz bands and 18-65 ms damping, giving a plasticky rattle. Ribs carry untuned 190-520 Hz bending modes plus 2.31 and 4.17 ratios, damped in 35-100 ms.
- Envelope
- 5-20 s gust movement and irregular sub-second flutter drive 1-40 contacts/s. Each leaflet contact has 1-2 weaker rebounds 17-45 ms later; ribs collide at 0.3-4 events/s.
- Layers
- dry stereo shell clacks lead, low-mid rib knocks anchor them, 0.8-6 kHz friction fills gust peaks, and quiet 160-1100 Hz air joins the motion. No surf, whistling or reverberation.
- Variation
- seeded gusts, contact tuning, damping, rebound spacing, strength and pan vary freely. Wind controls movement; dryness hardens shells; size lowers bodies; ribs controls knock balance.
- Presets
- sheltered sparse fronds, dense exposed crown, close brittle fronds and large heavy fronds.
