What is Editorial: The Art Of The String Multiphonic about?

Regular readers of TEMPO will recognise that this issue is unusual. All the articles focus on recent research on string multiphonics and span theory, analysis and practice from both the performer and composer's perspective. Ellen Fallowfield has drawn all this material together and most of the words that follow in this editorial are hers, but I want to begin by thanking her for being such a generous and conscientious collaborator. We are both convinced of the value of assembling such a body of work, creating not only a network of information but also models on which to build future developments. In particular we believe that it is important to encourage the assimilation of existing research, particularly across approaches and disciplines, something that is often not pursued sufficiently rigorously in performance practice research. The theory for predicting the pitch content of string multiphonics is applicable to all stringed instruments, whether they are bowed, plucked or struck. There are some differences in limits according to the properties of the strings and bowing/plucking/striking conditions, but these seem to have less influence than the varying tubes, cones and keys within
