Played molto legato on side of gourd for smooth sound, but still with a sense of rhythm. The flange effect comes from moving the scraper in a small circular motion while playing the rhythms.

scratching becoming more agitated and eventually taking over

continue but start to add

Short rhythmic bursts influenced by original "melody". Always on non playing surface similar to "soft flange", scratching fast with pressure, as if searching for pitches.

While scratching on all areas but the normal playing area, continue to search for pitches by using the table to close/open the opening of the gourd. Should sound like a "wha wha" gliss effect.

Gourd upright, accent with opening facing down into table cut off sound.
