Greetings,
Quite simply, I would use invisible voices (see attached):

%%%%
{
  \clef bass
  \time 9/8
  r4.
  \once \override Hairpin.circled-tip = ##t
  <> ^"sul tasto"
  \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #-.8
  #(make-dynamic-script
      (markup "pp"
        #:smaller #:normal-text #:italic #:whiteout
        "calmo, sotto voce"))
  \>
  <<
    {
      \oneVoice
      \repeat tremolo 12 {c32( a32}
      \repeat tremolo 12 {\parenthesize c,32 \parenthesize a,32)}
    } \\ {
      \hideNotes
      c2.\glissando c,
    } \\ {
      \hideNotes
      s4. a\glissando s a,8 s s
    }
  >>
  r4.\!
}

%%%%%

Cheers,
V.
