The
Didjeridoo is the most ancient polifonic breath instrument used
from the Australian Aboriginals from 40,000 years ago. The instrument,
that it is a simple tube of wood (a tube of eucalyptus emptied
from the thermits) comes played with the technique of the circolar
respiration : the player produces therefore immensest the sonorous
carpet, continuous and ipnotic on which at the same time it modulates the
callbacks, the rhythms and the tunes. The polifonia in an instrument to
breath it is exactly what the Aboriginals have always played from
the age of the stone today with the Didjeridoo.
This instrument is completely
suggest in carved wood by hand, as in the inner section as
in that external, for one better acoustic resonance. The mouthpiece of
the instrument, originally constituted from wax of bees modeled,
it is directly carved in the wood for one greater duration
and confort. The Didjeridoo moreover is decorated by hand with natural
lands in traditional representing paintings animals and magical beings
of the aboriginal cosmos.
