Love to hear Inuit throat singers accompanied by a didgeridoo.

Apparently there's a phobia for didgeridoos. An ex-girlfriend told me of a family gathering where a brother-in-law pulled out said instrument and began playing. Someone in the family has never forgiven him for the trauma they suffered that day.

They refer to it as, "The Didgeridoo Incident."

Just amazing how far a little didgeridoo will go. A little dab'll do ya.

Love it. I know midnight oil had a couple songs with that rain pipe or whatever it’s called

If you like this, try https:\\www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UAcoh... from Windows by Michael Chapman which is what I was immediately taken back to when I heard it.

I wonder what a Tuvan throat singer like Ondar would sound like on a didgeridoo

 
The overtones would probably just cancel each other out and he'd just sound like David Byrne.

Excerpts from Wikipedia — Didgeridoo:

A termite-bored didgeridoo has an irregular shape that, overall, usually increases in diameter towards the lower end. This shape means that its resonances occur at frequencies that are not harmonically spaced in frequency even though the vibration produced by the player's lips has harmonics. 

Sufficiently strong resonances of the vocal tract can strongly influence the timbre of the instrument. At some frequencies, whose values depend on the position of the player's tongue, resonances of the vocal tract inhibit the oscillatory flow of air into the instrument.  These variations during the inhalation and exhalation phases of circular breathing, give the instrument its readily recognizable sound.



 
Oh, that's why I couldn't play the didgeridoo when I was In Australia.  I didn't get the "oscillatory flow" correct and my circular breathing was all out of whack.  I'll just stick with the guitar.  I just wish I could play one, and so do my friends.

Hmm. On this showing, guitar and didgerydoo go together like a horse and cabbage. Nice effort, but I don't think it works.

Anybody ever see the movie "The Coca-Cola Kid" with Eric Roberts? In it the members of Split Enz come up with a down under version of a Coke jingle that includes a dijderidoo (sp?)--and it's AWESOME!

I always thought some group from the sixties should have incorporated it into a psychedelic classic. But what did I know then, I was only in Jr. High. Hey! Maybe I could have been the next Phil Spector. Naw. I could have never killed a woman.

Is it the .,.. "Afternoon Show" on CBC public radio in British Columbia that plays this as their theme song? Or used to?

I agree the didgeridoo gets a little tiresome after a while....throw in a bull-roarer, then we're talking!

Catchy. Loving the variety.
Posted 17 years ago by ave    [ Reply ]
My initial thought when it first started was "HEY EVERYBODY CHECK IT OUT! IT'S A DIDGEDEROO!" Never really got into the hoopla about the instrument. The rest of the tune is ok.

Or, if you google didgeridoo together with, say, funk, you'll realize that maybe the world needs fewer.

I bought a didgeridoo at an art fair after hearing this album. I couldn't get a sound out of it. My son, who plays the trumpet, can blow it like Miles Davis. Go Figure. BTW, this is the best of Baka. Baka Beyond is also cool though more Afro-Celt.

Digeridork. This is the kind of unusual and excellent music that places RP above all of the other online radio stations. Even if you don't care for this tune, you gotta admit you're not going to find such a variety anywhere else. Thanks, RP.

Lovely, if a bit repetitive. what is it with folks who make a great groove, but feel they have to repeat it verbatim over and over again?

Cool song. Super lame name for a Aussie band, though. It's like a Canadian band calling themselves "Maple Syrup" or something.
