The complete description

FIRST CYCLE / INSTRUMENT KIND
FC06
Puddle cello
The Sunshower Arcade
Kind #52 / weather-organ-puddle-cello
Shallow resonator
A still puddle provides an illustrative
body for the low voice.
Pluck-like ripple
One small impact sends a compact set
of ripples across the surface.
Reflected answer
A softer secondary ripple is shown
beside the fading main disturbance.
Three illustrative views of one imagined kind; not life stages. Images are not to a common scale.
Habitat
Appearance & role
Separate shallow puddles beside the Sunshower
Arcade's dry passage. Their reflected surfaces carry the
imagined low dancing line.
A water-based instrument fiction, pictured here through
a resonant pool and its ripples. The cello name describes
the rounded plucked voice, not an animal or plant.
Character & musical voice
A low root is followed by a fifth and a quieter octave reply; the last bar holds G. Short, springy pizzicato with a reflected
answer; G major, 132 BPM, 3/4.
