Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 434.9 Hz, 120 cents flat of B♭4, 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.

How to play

Tap it for a ripple and a small hop; drag to turn it.

About it

A cluster of vanadinite crystals, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Vanadinite is a lead vanadium mineral. It forms in the weathered upper part of lead ore deposits, as small six-sided crystals that run from orange to deep red.

Tap it and a ripple crosses the specimen as it hops on its base. Drag to circle it and look into the gaps between the crystals, where the light shows through the orange.
