Cave drips and echoes
Slow drips in a cave or cellar, each a bell-like note in the key with long fading echoes, irregular but never clumped, over a faint low air; a bigger drop falls on each threshold.

| register | integer | 72 | 60 to 84 | the lowest note a drip is drawn from (MIDI) |
| darkness | number | 0.4 | 0 to 1 | how dark the cave is: lower, softer drips and a duller air |
| timbre | choice | glass | glass, harp, celesta | the drip's sound: a glass bell, a plucked string or a soft bar |
