Steel Tooth Decay

V6

[Instrumental] [A: Longer low teeth. Two pin releases on uneven sixteenth-note spacing, then a rest. Repeat the pair; delay the second release. Let both tooth vibrations decay through the gap.] [C: One pin release leaps upward. Three descending releases answer, each separated enough for the short teeth to ring.] [B: Repeat one middle pitch twice. Test the neighboring tooth, pause, then reconnect the interrupted sequence with a changed interval.] [A: Return the low pair motif, but change its landing note. Displace the accent; leave a rest for the released teeth to decay.] [C: Borrow A’s displaced accent at a different pitch. Jump, then descend in three measured releases.] [B: Catch C’s figure, repeat the opening pitch, pause before the expected final release; leave that note missing.] [A: Begin the pair-and-rest figure, interrupt it after one release. Wait while its vibration fades.] [B: Repeat A’s fragment with a neighboring pitch, then add the missing landing note.] [C: Answer with separated high releases, alternating a rising return and a descending return.] [A: Repeat the low sequence; delay its last pin release again, then settle on a new major-scale landing pitch.] [B: Try the neighboring pitch once more, pause, and complete the sequence cleanly.] [C: Reprise the upward leap and three descending notes, softer and farther apart, each tone fading before the next.] [A, B, C: Exchange the familiar note groups in staggered uneven sixteenths. One starts, one interrupts, one waits, then catches and completes the figure.] [A: Two final low releases, then rest.] [B: One middle landing release after a pause.] [C: One high release; allow all three steel-tooth vibrations to decay into silence.]
