Are you by any chance attemting to insult my tastes in music and preferences of techniques used to express my ideas?

I do have classical traning you know. I respect music as much as anyone else who plays it.

Neither glissando nor EBow sound laughable. They are quite musical and have a very noticeable presence in the mix of other sounds.
Neither sound like a vocoded chainsaw or a reversed sample of a hairbrush banged on a mirror. We’re talking music here not experimental noise used as sound FX for cartoons.


I’m not even sure if it is fare to refer to Glissando and EBow as experimental considering the amount of times they have been successfully used and their popularity among musicians of the 20th and 21st century. THe results are only as random as you want them to be since everything you do is hundred percent repeatable.
All depends on one's ability to use those tools.
