Ellen Fullman has researched intonation tuning theory, string harmonics and musical instrument design for over forty years. Her main project, the Long String Instrument—two rows of suspended strings, 20 meters long, separated by an empty corridor that the artist walks while sliding her fingers over the strings, creating a multiplicity of tunes—has reverberated inside dozens of architectural spaces around the world.
