I have just received a copy of Gerry Farmers book on Multiphonics.
Reading his first chapter on the history of multiphonics I get the
feeling the concept this new tecnique was developed in the 1950-60's
with pieces like Berio's Sequenza.

Now what I really want to know is, where did it all start from? Did it
just start in one country or did it stem from different countries
around the same time. The reason I ask is because (apart from being
British) Peter Maxwell Davis with Alan Hacker and Birtwistle were the
early users of this writing in England, and so I thought they may have
been the innovators.

WRONG!!!!

I take it was William O Smith?

BTW. I think the book is amazing and is helping me a great deal with
the history of multiphonics anyway. Just wanted to be inquisitive.
