Topic: Glissando

	Glissando - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glissando (plural: glissandi) is a musical term that refers to either a continuous sliding from one pitch to another (a "true" glissando), or an incidental scale played while moving from one melodic note to another (an "effective" glissando).
		These include unfretted stringed instruments (such as the violin and some bass guitars), stringed instruments with a way of stretching the strings (such as a guitar), wind instruments without valves or stops (such as the trombone or slide whistle), electronic instruments (such as synthesizers and theremins), the water organ, and of course the human voice.
		For example, on a piano, the player can slide his thumbnail across the white or fl keys, producing either a C major scale or a F# major pentatonic (or their relative natural minor scales).

	Glissando illusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An auditory illusion, it is created when a sound with a fixed pitch, such as a synthesized oboe tone, is played together with a sine wave gliding up and down in pitch, and they are both switched back and forth between stereo loudspeakers.
		The effect is that the oboe is heard as switching between loudspeakers while the sine wave is heard as joined together seamlessly, and as moving around in space in accordance with its pitch motion.
		Righthanders often hear the glissando as traveling from left to right as its pitch glides from low to high, and then back from right to left as its pitch glides from high to low.

		If a glissando is performed on a piano or harp, not every semitone is played, because the finger is drawn across only the white keys in the case of the piano, or the scale available in the case of the harp.
		If, however, a glissando is performed on a stringed instrument such as a violin, each semitone would be sounded as the finger is either slid up or down the length of a string, or fingering each note separately.
		A glissando is also possible on wind instruments, however, each note must be fingered separately with the notable exception of the trombone.

	ASA 149th Meeting Lay Language Papers - The glissando illusion: A spatial illusory contour in hearing
		However, the portions of the glissando appear to be joined together quite seamlessly, so that a single, continuous tone is heard that appears to be moving around in space in accordance with its pitch motion.
		The switching rate between the glissando and oboe tone was held constant at 238 ms, and the duration of one cycle of the glissando was held constant at 2.5 sec.
		Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this illusion is that, although the portions of the glissando are alternating abruptly between widely different spatial positions, it is perceived as though coming from a single source that moves around in space in accordance with it pitch characteristics.

	Review of Chip Hourihan's quot;Glissando.", 2/02
		Chip Hourihan’s "Glissando" opens in a desiccated town in Arizona, where a middle-aged man (Ned Van Zandt) has come to identify the body of his father, found in a dumpster behind a motel.
		And though "Glissando" for a time seems to proceed as purposelessly as its protagonists’ lives, the film has a direction, one that isn’t apparent until it springs upon you.
		"Glissando" subtly portrays a broken man, caught up in his own self-deceptions, and the son who becomes equally ensnared in his father’s pattern of self-deceit, at first begrudgingly and later of his own free, malicious will.

	Analysis of Countertenor Glissando (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This spectrogram represents a glissando on the Italian 'a' vowel from C4 (middle C) to A5 and back down.
		The glissando makes it easy to see the lower and upper limits of the formant because the partials are in motion within its boundaries.
		I believe glissandi will make formal analysis easier as well - levels of individual partials can be tracked, and a set db level can be defined (probably in proportion to the fundamental) to determine whether a given partial is 'in the zone' or not.

		Certainly not a plot-oriented script, Glissando centers on the interaction between the members of a makeshift dysfunctional family living for the time being in desolate Gila Bend, Arizona.
		According to the press notes, Glissando was shot employing most of the rules of the Dogma '95 manifesto, although the filmmakers used liberal interpretations of the tenets when necessary.
		Glissando isn't as bombastic as, say, the work of Lars Von Trier, and while the film eschews a conventional plot, it does have an accessible narrative.

		He felt that he could break away from the boundaries of the western scale by using the glissando; yet still maintain structure through the use of percussion; thus "compensat[ing] for the weakness of the other".

	MW Maestro: Glissando - Creating a realistic Glissando
		When listening to real world musicians one of the things that adds expressiveness and life to a piece of music is the way that the musician adds a Glissando, or slide, between the notes of a phrase.
		You would normally want this number to be between 58 and 78 depending on the amount of time you want before your slide takes place.
		After you have your Glissando, you need to end with a Controller 5 with a value of zero or you will continue getting glissandos between the rest of the notes in your piece.

	Halfbakery: Whistled Glissando Microwave Time Input
		The response is quadratic so a glissando (or sliding pitch-change) of one half step (from C to C-sharp for instance) would increase the time to 30 seconds, and a glissando of one octave (12 half-steps) would increase the time to 30 minutes.
		You don’t need to have a musical ear to operate the microwave, because as you whistle the time is displayed, so you simply need to whistle up until you reach the setting you want, then stop whistling.
		To add more time, give it another up glissando, to subtract time, slide down the scale.

		Also, the realization of glissando is quite different on different winds, and multiple kinds of glisses may be possible on a single instrument.
		A clarinet is capable of a nearly continuous gliss at least over much of its range (as the opening of Rhapsody in Blue is typically performed) while a horn gliss is nearly always quantized by the overtones (see the explicit notation at the end of Firebird).
