DIDGE-ITAL DREAM TIME is a series of videos that explores the sonic possibilities when adding digital effects within the didgeridoo itself, via the didge-ital instrument.
In this Episode, I attach the speaker of the Didge-ital to a 12 foot agave plant (didgeridoo), creating a low key of G drone. Then my friend Patrick Stevens plays overtone notes on another didgeridoo into a microphone that's sent back into my didgeridoo, so Patrick's rhythm is simultaneously amplified inside my didgeridoo as I play. This experiment was really fun for me because each note Patrick produced created hits of high air pressure inside my instrument that I could feel. As far as the listener's concerned, not too extraordinary... at least not any more impressive then the sound of a low frequency enormous didge and patrick's skillful overtone rhythm.
Patrick and I planned to create this video after we discovered this rhythm one day while experimenting with the Didge-ital. We picked a weekend day to shoot, and then my friend Oliver Jacobson called me and asked if he could come and jam with us on that same day. I told him sure thing, but he'd have to be in our video. On the day of the shoot we recruited Matthew Westergren to assist us with a little djembe beat. With about 2 hours of practice while setting up the cameras and microphones we worked out this song. Big thank you to Oliver for taking our simple didgeridoo rhythm to a new level. Big thank you to Zack Benson and Billy Cornish for helping me shoot this video and to Tim Flood for taking my rough sound recordings and giving them a proper mix. Couldn't have done without all you guys :)
More to come, stay tuned!
