for more about her guitar system you can read her PhD, or here's a short video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSzS...

a woman sits with a classical guitar, held by the neck (not playing). She wears a blue concert outfit.

My new piece for prepared-guitar and electronics is on this Friday lunchtime (Leeds).

Katalin has developed a wonderful system of moveable per-string capos, so of course this piece is full of harmonics/scordatura.
