Pebble Beach

Rhythmic waves wash over wet pebbles, followed by granular clatter as backwash drags stones seaward.

How it's made

Source
shore turbulence is independent stereo pink noise, with low surge and brighter aerated wash.
Body
wet pebbles collide in damped inharmonic modes at 0.6-6 kHz, with 12-55 ms T60 decay. A 1-3 ms rounded noise strike and 15-65 ms friction tail prevent glassy ringing or bare clicks.
Envelope
irregular 5-11 s wave cycles rise over 35% of a cycle; foam peaks later and drains slowly. The backwash peaks at 68% of the cycle, driving 3-85 stone contacts/s after the main water surge.
Layers
a quiet offshore bed bridges waves; low wash, foam and granular rolling remain separate.
Variation
slow drift warps wave timing and energy; each stone varies size, damping, force and pan. Macros set wave interval, surge, stone size, rolling activity and foam; no enclosed-space reverb.
Presets
sheltered laps, heavy cobbles, fine shingle backwash and a softer distant shoreline.
