Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 457.1 Hz, 66 cents sharp of A4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A running shoe is laced through rows of eyelets, so the laces pull the shoe snug around the foot. The usual bow is a reef knot with two loops: if the second half is tied the wrong way round, it becomes a granny knot, which slips and comes undone much more easily.

This shoe is a photo scan of a real trail shoe. Tap it and its laces come undone, cross over and tie themselves into a bow again, and the shoe taps its toe twice. Pick a flag in the top bar and the shoe wears its colors.
