Ellen Fullman

Composer Ellen Fullman was born in 1957. Know principally for music she has writen for an instrument she invented, The Long String Instrument, Fullman studied sculpture at the Kansas City Art Institute. She has performed with the Deep Listening Band and Paul Panhuysen.

Tuned in just intonation The Long String Instrument is played by walking along the length of incredibly long strings and rubbing them with rosined hands. This produces longitudinal vibrations, and her music explores the nodes of vibration. Her early pieces were notated with choreography.
