c
- clusterA cluster (tightly grouped voices) consists of a set of simultaneous sounds at the musical interval of a quarter tone or less.
- crossfadePerformed using the volume knobs, the fade-in is a mixing technique that aims to gently slide from one sound to another, the sound 1 gradually disappearing in favor of the sound 2. At the intersection of the sounds as one increases and the other decreases in volume, there will be a period where the two sounds will tend to merge.
f
- fusionUsing different methods, try to combine two or more sounds in such a way that online one sound is perceivable. Tools to use: 1. the mixer: adjusts the volumes of the sounds so that they merge into one another; 2. the filter; adjusts the "colours" of the sounds to match; 3. the time-speed modulator or the transposer: to match the...
g
- glissandoA glissando is a musical term of Italian origin that designates the continuous sliding of a sound in an upward or downward movement. The glissando can be produced by the human voice and, among other things, by stringed instruments and the slide trombone. A glissando effect can be produced on fixed pitch instruments such as the piano and the harp...
h
- high pass filterThe high-pass filter gradually cuts the lower frequencies of the sound as the Fonofone filter bar is moved up and to the right. The sound is gradually becoming thinner, letting only a stream of high-pitched values pass through. The filter is an excellent tool to get the student to perceive the "colour" (the timbre) sounds.

m
- maskingHighly used in contemporary instrumental and electroacoustic music, masking consists of hiding a sound, generally something soft and linear, by another larger sound that occupies the entire acoustic space. The sudden removal of this layer in the foreground (rupture) reveals the existence of another musical layer that was previously masked.
- micro-montageThe micro-montage consists of several heterogeneous sounds being played in very quick succession to create a new sound object, this new sound is the sum of original sounds.
o
- ostinatoIn music, an ostinato (derived from Italian: stubborn, compare English, from Latin: 'obstinate') is a motif or phrase that persistently repeats in the same musical voice, frequently in the same pitch. Well-known ostinato-based pieces include both classical compositions such as Ravel's Boléro and the Carol of the Bells, and popular songs such as Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder's I Feel...
- overtone singingOvertone singing is a vocal technique that allows a person to produce two distinct sounds, on the one hand the drone, the basic pedal-pedal, on the other hand harmonic variations of the basic sustained sound. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtone_singing There are several examples on the web, including: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbaKN9Hu_U
r
- random rhythmUnmeasured, unpredictable.
- resonant filterthe upper band of the Fonofone filter is used to heavily influence the sound. In this zone, the filter enters into resonance: it generates a very thin band which amplifies and brings out a precise frequency of the sound. The melodic effect is obtained with tonal sounds (at a recognizable pitch) with a rich harmonic content.
- reverbReverb is the extension of a sound after its source is interrupted. It is caused by the multiple and tight reflections of the sound on the different reflective walls of the space where it projected. It creates an effect of diffuse sound extension, longer or shorter depending on the size of the place and the reflective properties of its walls....
t
- timbral melodieCreate a temporal evolution not by varying the pitch of the sound, as in a traditional melody, but by changing its "color" by filter actions, either by attenuating the high (low-pass) or low (pass-through) values. high, either by highlighting a precise harmonic frequency (upper band of the Fonofone filter). & nbsp; The melody of timbre (Klangfarbenmelodie) is a notion formalized...
