Oh yeah.  You can have the tail's color change (try an exp env on a
whisper), or have it break up into fragments as it fades, or gradually
coalesce into discrete echoes... in the "bizarre" category, try a
standard tail (darkening noise) through a ring-mod sweep.  I found
that noise worked best; pitched responses translated into unmanageable
resonances.

Dunno abotu wisdom, but there's a bit of an example in the Csound manual:
