I've just listened to this. There is some kind of 'rise' but I associate it
with a tessitura rise in the timbre. The first sound has a component which
appears to sound like an aug 4th, but with the addition of the third (can
someone please tell me what the tones are in this example are, in Hz,
please, and if the sounds are sq waves, as they seem to me (odd harmonics
only)), a higher component close to it appears.

Timbrally, it's like this (none of the fundamental tones is given), where
a ----- means a tone at some frequency, where up the page means higher
frequency:

before after

----- -----
appears to rise
-> ----- <-stronger than:
----- / ----- <-this one

----- -----

----- -----

any good as a guess?

i don't have the frequencies, but the chords, in cents, are 0 702
1586, followed by 0 702 1600. the 0 and 702 stay at the same pitch.
the timbres feature both even and odd partials without preference for
one or the other.

What does "a tessitura rise in the timbre" mean? Tessitura means the
vocal range where most of the pitches in a vocal part fall. A piece
can be within the range of a particular singer, but if the tessitura
lies in the upper limit of his/her range, then the part could still
represent a strain for the singer. This term certainly has nothing to
do with any kind of timbre, vocal or otherwise.
