Didgeridoo..
Sorry if the quality is a bit naff and wobbly, playing the didgeridoo and filming at the same time was a bit tricky!!
About twenty years ago, i was at glastonbury tor, somerset. when i bumped in to a guy who had a didgeridoo, who kindly offered me a go of it, At this point i had never even picked one up ! .. He kind of ran through the basics with me, just to get an idea.
( I had always wanted one, but did'nt want it to be an ornament ).
He then pointed me in the direction of a guy who lives ( used to ) in glastonbury village. A guy called Nick, who makes his own didgeridoo's from air dried hard woods..
On top of this, he was an amazing player and teacher...
Over the next two weeks, i practiced and practiced, not the sound mind, But the most important part of didgeridoo playing..., The circular breathing!
To begin with, this sounded impossible.., to be able to breath in and out at the same time......, hard, really hard !!
I thought i was going to explode the very first time i circular breathed :-)
Well, after pure determination and to the amazement of Nick, i cracked it :-)
The didgeridoo i have was Nicks very own, and i wil always treasure it..
Any wayz, just a quick build, hope you like it..
ps : my sound card has broken on my pc, so im hoping this works and sounds ok..
