| Name withheld by request | it gives me a comfortable feeling; I can even physically feel it; it's just nature; so simple but perfect (may be the best thing about it); I admire players who are one with their didge; those who can play by heart. it makes me keen on getting there aswell. it may be a long way but I just can't stop walking. it's the perfect instrument for me because unlike any other it's purely nature. |

| Damir Kutuzovich from Croatia | Ok; i'll share my secret with you ... I had a dream: Me sitting on a ground in some high alltitude forrest; seeing a valley down to me and a beautifull SILENCE around me. I play the didj and slowly close my eyes; just to realise that all of my surrounding is becoming one and only one energy. Sound produced by didj slowly changes in timbre as I blow into it and becomes the only source of vibrations around me. Sound comes from all over me and it becomes a connection with everything here and there and everywhere ! I must state that I have this dream offenly when smoke marihuana and relax in nature or room. One friend of mine told me that dreams that comes back have important meaning on someones spiritual life; but I don't know how to connect it or use it to improve my spiritual life. I work in computer-shop here and have daily problems that does not allow me to work on spiritual part of me. I can't go without money; but wish to do and live with less materialism and stress. Didj sound helps me to go there and be there and enoy every moment of it ... |
