- For Ann (rising) is a piece of electronic music composed by American composer and music theorist James Tenney in 1969. The piece incorporates the Shepard tone concept, named after Tenney's colleague at Bell Labs, psychologist Roger Shepard. The technique which the piece uses is more properly described as a continuous Risset scale, or a Shepard-Risset glissando. It consists of a repeating sequence of sine waves arranged in a glissando between twelve and fifteen rising at any time and fading in and out, entering a minor sixth below their predecessors, rising from the infrasonic to ultrasonic range from below to above the ability to perceive pitch. The concept of the piece derived from Tenney's speculations on auditory illusions in his 1961 master's thesis Meta (+) Hodos, an early application of gestalt theory and cognitive science to music.
