Shepard tone
january 2011 by kvnglbrtsn
"A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the base pitch of the tone moving upwards or downwards, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower." from Wikipedia.

Lamellophone
october 2009 by kvnglbrtsn
A lamellophone (also lamellaphone or linguaphone, from the Latin for "tongue", i.e., a long thin plate that is fixed only at one end) is any of a family of musical instruments. The name comes from the Latin root "lamella" for "plate" and the Greek root "phone" for "sound".
