Big Fish Audio Didgeridoo (REX/Acid)
The natives of Australia, the Aborigines, trust this sacred instrument to converse with the spirits of their departed.
In recent memory, the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney made the most vivid impression of aboriginal culture on the world. There is an extremely deep-seated interest in native cultures which are based on an intimate relationship with the natural world, such as those of the Native Americans and these aborigines.
The didgeridoo instrument is made from cutting a 1-2 meter section of a eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed out by hungry termites. Its performance consists of vibrating the lips while employing a circular breathing technique so that the inside of the performer's mouth as well as the inside of the instrument are caused to resonate. This dual sound is incredibly mysterious, making one feel that the ground is vibrating from the very deeps of the earth. As for the instrument's name, the leading theory is that white settlers named it "didgeridoo"because they thought they heard this word among the instrument's sounds. There are actually many names given to the instrument depending on each aboriginal tribe.
Most recently, this ancient instrument has provided producers with the ability to express an otherwise unattainable organic element in modern ambient and trance styles of music. Add the ancient to your mix.
