In 1981, at her studio in Brooklyn ELLEN FULLMAN began developing the 20 meter “Long String Instrument”, in which rosin-coated fingers brush across dozens of metallic strings, producing a chorus of minimal organ-like overtones which has been compared to the experience of standing inside an enormous grand piano. Fullman’s recent work explores the influence of sympathetic resonance using notation that choreographs events to occur at locations mapped to the matrix of nodal points. Fullman was awarded a Japan/U.S. Friendship Commission/NEA Residency for Japan (2007); a DAAD Artists-in-Berlin residency (2000-2001), and has performed in numerous venues and festivals. Her release, “Fluctuations” was selected as one of the top 50 releases of 2007 by the Wire, London.
