How it's made

Source
a wet fingertip drags around a wine-glass rim; stick-slip locks to the bowl's vibration. A quiet 500-4200 Hz filtered noise layer represents wet skin contact, not a strike or splash.
Body
the flexural rim doublet is 420-1100 Hz, split by 0.15-1.1 Hz. Sine pairs approximate the steady driven response; weaker bowl modes lie at 2.74, 4.95 and 7.35 times the fundamental.
Overtones
friction locking adds weak second and third harmonics. Upper modes bloom later and respond more strongly to finger pressure, keeping the main tone pure without a static spectrum.
Envelope
contact starts in 120 ms; resonance grows over 1.2-4.5 s. A 0.45-0.85 Hz rotation gently modulates pressure, with irregular 4-10 s breathing. Contact fades before a 2.4 s modal release.
Variation
named random streams set rotation phase, tiny pitch wander and mode tuning within 0.12%. Presets offer a low water-loaded bowl, a small bright glass, light contact and firm harmonic singing.
Space
a dry, centred close recording; no added room, clicks, distortion or artificial stereo chorus.
