The sound of the salpinx was being digitally recreated by the Ancient Instruments Sound/Timbre Reconstruction Application (ASTRA) project which uses physical modeling synthesis to simulate the sound of the salpinx. Due to the complexity of this process, the ASTRA project uses grid computing on hundreds of computers throughout Europe to model ...
Due to the complexity of this process the ASTRA project uses grid computing to model sounds on hundreds of computers throughout Europe simultaneously. [21] [22] The aulos is part of the Lost Sounds Orchestra, alongside other ancient instruments which ASTRA have recreated the sounds of, including the epigonion, the salpinx, the barbiton and the ...
Due to the complexity of this process, the ASTRA project uses grid computing, [10] to model sounds on hundreds of computers simultaneously. The epigonion is part of the Lost Sounds Orchestra, [11] alongside other ancient instruments which ASTRA has recreated the sounds for, including the salpinx, the aulos, the barbiton, and the syrinx.
The original 1125 Astra was replaced by the Astra SP, announced in 1989; 37 were built. The third variant, the Astra SPX , flew for the first time in August 1994. This variant was renamed G100 from September 2002 following Gulfstream's acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace , which held the Astra type certificate , in May 2001.
A hydrosalpinx is a condition that occurs when a fallopian tube is blocked and fills with serous or clear fluid near the ovary (distal to the uterus). The blocked tube may become substantially distended giving the tube a characteristic sausage-like or retort-like shape.
The Greek barbitos is part of the Lost Sounds Orchestra, [21] alongside other ancient instruments which Ancient Instruments Sound/Timbre Reconstruction Application (ASTRA) have recreated the sounds of, including the epigonion, the salpinx, the aulos, and the syrinx.
In anatomical contexts, salpinx is used to refer to a type of tube. Per Terminologia Anatomica , the Latin term "tuba" is usually used to describe most tubes (after the Roman tuba , not the modern tuba ), but the term "salpinges" and its adjectival derivatives are still sometimes used to describe the following two "tubes": [ 1 ]
The genus name Salpiglossis is a compound of the Greek words for "trumpet" σαλπινξ ( salpinx) and "tongue" γλώσσα ( glossa). The relatively large flowers of Salpiglossis sinuata ( the species in general cultivation ) are prettily veined and come in a pleasing range of colours. The species grows to an average height of 75 cm.
