Does Anyone Really Like Multiphonics?
Well I find it interesting as a novelty, but its not exactly harmonious (if thats the correct term) & certainly not balenced to the sound of the main note from the euph.
Perhaps it needs to be understated or limited to more humoures pieces on the whole, I certainly can't take it over seriously.
But I guess we have to be thankful that people are constantly pushing the boundaries of our insturument. Even if some techniques my not be popular with us all. Euphs are used increasingly (or be it slowly) in different gendres of music from pop to classical, but we may not all care for each area. Its just anouther technique take it or leave it.............
