i am split. on the one hand, the paper-bag rolls of psychedelic patterns is quite impressive for the 50s. on the other hand, trombone had glide first. there are probably many even earlier instruments with that sort of quality. it's mostly of note because it's closer to modern approaches -- like, is the hurdy-gurdy the first violin VST? so i don't see this as the invention of glide so much as a new stage of thought with how to approach composition |

and perhaps there are other musicians who had this first, too. i really don't know much of this history did he have this going before raymond scott? if he did, well, we can stop there |

Yeah I thought of Raymond Scott, and also Conlon Nancarrow, and a bit of Harry Partch, maybe a smidgen of Daphne Oram. But most of all this is like Dr. Seuss designed instruments under the direction of Rube Goldberg. I think a lot of people had freaky music ideas in the mid 20th century, that in hindsight appear convergent. |

yeah I was thinking pitch glide is something that's been around since probably the invention of music, you can do it with your voice. |
