I'm not convinced either of you quite realise the effect I'm trying to describe but it doesn't matter (it's just that the effect as I percveived it has not been used by Ae before with the possible exception of Krib off Cichli Suite with that effect I read people describe as marbles clanging together in your hand but I would equate it more with that noise when you pick up 2 heavy bottomed glasses off the table and they clang against each other with increasing frequency until they're still). But as I say, it really doesn't matter.
