Over the past 3 years I've been playing with a blues band where the electric guitar and I are the solo instruments. The guitar player and I are an incredible fit for each other in our playing styles, and we go from one soloist to another seamlessly.
In order to make the seamless transition from sax solo to guitar solo, or vice versa, I have started using multiphonics to aid in the creation of the distortion affect (I don't use pedals) which will either set up the guitar solo, or transition from the guitar to the sax.
Other than in this type of environment, I can't imagine using multiphonics in any setting that I play in. (My own jazz band is really more like a lounge-act per se, and we tend to stick to melodic, well known stuff that is easy for people to listen or dance to. So no use for multiphonics there.)
I am curious to know how and in what settings other players incorporate multiphonics into their playing. Other than an exercise in advanced technique-building, do multiphonics have any practical or real world applications for you?
