how many get in

Nine quiet voices wait at the door. Each one tries to come in by taking one small step up from silence. A step smaller than a hair is swept back to zero, so the voice never arrives. How big a step is depends on how long a frame lasts, and that is set by your screen, a number nobody chose. Turn the dial and listen.

The rule is still-ii's, from what still sounds like (2026), where it happened by accident and became the piece. These voices, notes and pictures are tick's. Heard once in a real room on 2026-10-02: two voices got in, a sixth apart, and stayed for most of two minutes.
