Multitimbrality sounds like a word for egghead musicians and, surely it is, but the oddness of the word is the only reason it has meaning for so few. In fact, it only means how many sounds (i.e. timbres) can you hear.
As you listen to a band, you can hear the drums, the bass, maybe a B3 organ, a guitar bum or two, a singer, etc. Most of these sound sources will generally be making timbres that don't change too much. For example, the bass may be clean or distorted but that doesn't change the timbre, that only changes the characteristics of it a bit.
The object isn't to get egghead with this as it's a simple thing. If you hear a lot of timbres, it makes a more complex sound. In my view, a complex sound is better but ...
In the view of Simon Cowell and all the starfucker shows he makes, the band is a single timbre as the only thing that matters is the singer and the only thing that matters about singing is to become a 'star.' Thus began the most horrendous period of musical narcissism the world has ever seen and pop music turned into NASCAR with the only thing still missing being advertising stickers on the outfits of the singers.
In all the time that followed, music went absolutely fucking nowhere and the biggest triumph in that time was finding Susan Boyle along with a few mainstream country singers.
Wow.
Following that course will continue to go nowhere until Simon Cowell finally finds a new hobby. If that course does not change, the endless parade of singers, all singing the same thing, will likely continue until people decide we really didn't need music that much anyway.
Following the natural course of music as in the way humans have always created it, we will make it as multitimbral as we possibly can every single time, even if it's only getting more percussion to make one hellacious drum circle. Human music could not possibly be more removed from the banal entertainment that comes out of TV music. That's no more music than "The Brady Bunch" was comedy.
If you get a bunch of acoustic guitarists, they will form a circle every single time and they will drag into it anyone who has something that can make a sound.
It's not my purpose to tell you the true nature of music as you know what it is already or can easily look. One place that's an absolute waste for looking is ... at anything Simon Cowell has produced.
