The present version of E. Michael Richard's 21st Century clarinet work is now set up as a multimedia presentation. It includes additional examples for eb and bass clarinets. It started out as a book in 1991 at one time distributed by Vandoren: Richards, E. Michael The Clarinet of the 21st Century: Explorations of New Instrumental Resources Based on Principles of Acoustics. E & K Publishers.

In the US, William O. Smith (better known to some as jazz clarinetist Bill Smith, long associated with Dave Brubeck) was one of the first to explore and notate multiphonics for clarinet. Phillip Rehfeldt's book New Directions in Clarinet (amazingly still in print or at least available) includes many of the fingerings developed by Smith. Another source for multiphonic fingerings is
Multiphonics and Other Contemporary Clarinet Techniques by Gerald Farmer, Elsa Ludewig-Verdehr, and Philip Rehfeldt. Shallumo Publishers.

E. Michael Richard teaches clarinet at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in the US and is, among other things, also a student of Japanese music. Here he is performing in a composition for clarinet and trombone:

One of the most recent comprehensive explorations of clarinet multphonics is Sarah Watts' Spectral Immersions: A Comprehensive Guide to the Theory and Practice of Bass Clarinet Multiphonics published in 2015. I'm wondering how much of this material (if any) would apply to the higher pitched clarinets.
