Didgeridoo

The natives of Australia, the Aborigines, trust to this sacred instrument to converse with the spirits of the departed. The didgeridoo instrument is made from cutting a 1-2 meter section of a eucalyptus treethat has been hollowed out by hungry termites. Its performance consists of vibrating the lips while employing a circular breathingtechnique 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 theground is vibratingfrom 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 many names given to the instrument, however, depending on each aboriginal tribe.

Like many of his New World Music labelmates, new age artist Llewellyn's compositions come from a deeply personal connection to music rather than formal or traditional study. Claiming a bloodline that can be traced to the last native Prince of Wales (from whom he took his name), Llewellyn maintains a connection to his Celtic heritage that informs and inspires both his spiritual and musical paths. Since childhood, composition came to him easily, and he imagined melodies far earlier than most of his peers. With a keen interest in spirituality and healing practices, Llewellyn found support and an eager audience through the New World Music record label.

This is the first didgeridoo library EVER which doesn’t rely on sampled phrases or generic uncontrollable drones. Since emulating a didgeridoo is at least as difficult as emulating the human voice, we’ve developed a custom hybrid solution which not only morphs between the different vowel samples, but enhances the vowels with the help of a custom formant filtering engine.

His playing here reminds me of a didgeridoo sometimes, not only because he uses circular breathing. I never thought about it, but actually the sounds of a trombone and a didgeridoo have a few things in common. So check this out if you love Free Jazz or Didgeridoo. Never re-released.
