That's eerie, but at the same time, incredibly beautiful. I love this idea, and I will have to try it =]] thanks for your musical input!

Dayum!

so beautiful!
I do a piece of music where I place small clitoral vibrators into tuned Bar Pint Glasses. They buzz and bounce around the bottom causing a clattering noise but occasionally they bounce off the bottom and 'ring' the upper part of the glass just like a ringing telephone. I loop a long ambient section of this 'found' chord and then I loop another
'fundamental' pitched glass and pitch it with a midi wind instrument through an electrix Repeater, tuneable live looper.

This is my favorite. It is magic. <3
I wonder if metal aircraft ball bearings (steelers in marbles) will make unique noise? wild wild wild video...

@rocketshipstud1 find that metal ball bearings are a little to clattery. The size of the the glass marbles I use seem perfect to pull as much tone as possible above the clatter.

It's a "natural" oscillators session... Very good :)
