Paul Lansky chopped up examples of this technique in several songs titled for an "idle" form of this, while Steve Reich's It's Gonna Rain features two nearly identical recordings of this going in and out of phase. A recording of this technique occurs after the A-test at the end of John Adams's Doctor Atomic, and a woman performs this technique in an aleatory fashion in the first knee play of Phillip Glass's Einstein on the Beach. Another Steve Reich work, Different Trains, features violins performing paradiddles and imitating the rhythms of this technique. Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait features a man performing this softly underneath the main strings and brass. The "sung", or "-stimme" version of this appears in works like Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire. For 10 points, name this type of sound composed of unmelodic phonemes.
