Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 775.5 Hz, 19 cents flat of G5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A desk lamp has a jointed arm that bends, so you can point its shade right where you need light, over a book or a drawing. The shade stops the light from shining in your eyes and sends it down onto the desk.

The lamp starts on, with a warm glow under the shade. Tap it to switch the light off, and tap again to switch it on. Pick its color in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, bend the arm at its joints and turn the shade to point the light: the pool of light moves across the desk.
