Just the coolest instrument! We've been doing a project on didjes as school, and a friend of my mum's played his for me, then came to
school and played it for the whole class. He bought his didje in Sydney a few years ago. I'd so love to have one of my own! |
Amano from United Kingdom |
To me I was like wow this is the sound when the world was first created this is the original first world sound that's what it sounded
like....I first learnt from a guy called phil perris who is half Malaysian and half indonesian....I myself am half finnish and half nigerian...and
one of my proudest moments was firstly being invited to a concert of yothu yindi....back in 1989 ...in soho in london....they actually let
me play their didjes and shared a beer with me......the second biggest honour that happened was having aboriginal elders living with me and
my brother in london for six months ..talk about a truly amazing experience.....I had the great honour of going out busking in london's covent
garden every day for what seemed like forever in seventh heaven with true black fellas....Uncle played a long ironbark didje and would sit
in full body paint on kangaroo skins regaling amazed tourists with dreamtime stories...it was with a tinge of sadness because he told this
story of how he is a fully qualified psychiatric nurse...but can't get work because there are "no aboriginal positions available"...what
an amazing man and inspiration .....not to mention auntie his wife who nagged me into the blue yonder...did me some good though... |

I was at my friends house, and his father had one, for decorative purposes only, and no one could play the beast! on my attempt we got
this dull roar from it and I was amazed at the beauty and power of the sound, so primal. |

Bill Hayes from USA |
I'm a descendant of the aboriginal people of the USA, I'm a Native American Indian. When I heard the sounds of the didj I loved it because
it struck me as a very ancient & traditional sound, it reminded me of the chanting, drum beats & songs of our people. I want to be
able to make didj music a recognizable part of our Indian culture. That's because we have always recognized the aborigines as our relatives
in an Indian way. |

I heard my first didge at the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans. I thought it was the most haunting sound that I had ever heard.
My only thoughts were to get one and learn to play. It took a few years, but I did eventually get to Australia and bought an incredible didge.
In the meanwhile, I played on bamboo and an inferior didge. |

That the bearded bloke playing it was a bit weird and kept going on about 2 little boys having 2 little toys - which freaked me out a
bit. Since then I learned a bit more about the true culture of the Didj and can appreciate it at a different level. |

First time I saw it being played was when I was really young, probably about 4yrs old. It was at "Old Sydney Town", and a group
of Aboriginal people dressed in traditional gear were playing them and dancing. I was quite scared actually. The sound was really weird to
me. But I ended up getting a photo taken with them. |

coming from the window and when I looked down I saw someone playing a didgeridoo, and I started talking to the kid and he let me play it a
couple of times and it was so cool and so much fun I was hooked on it and have been wanting to get one ever since. |

I thought the sound was fantastic! I play native drums as a hobby . and I thought that the didge sound would be a great addition to the

hearing the didje ,it changed the way I listen to all native music |

I was mesmerized by it! Loved the truly primal feel and sound. felt instantly that it was a pure instrument which made me want to learn
it for the simple want of creating music. Its simplicity (just a hollow piece of wood) as an instrument masked the amazing complexities of
tone, rhythms and vocals the player was able to do and I have since tried to learn. |

The sounds I heard made me think I was tapping into something from another dimension. I heard a low reverberating sound that seemed to
be swimming thru the air seeking me out, pulling me thru a crowd of people, to the source of some secret strange magical device given to man
long ago. I was simply, amazed and completely disconnected to this plane of existence the longer I listened to the tune. I still feel a little
part of me has left this plane to forever fly in that dimension. Each time I listen to a new didj song, or watch another soul open that doorway,
I start to see where another part of me has gone before. |

A beautiful magical sound, I could hardly believe a sound like that could come from an instrument that was basically so simple. so I wanted
to have one right away but there was no opportunity to ask the musician where to buy one 2 years later I walked in coincidentally in a native
shop and they had some non-termite hollowed ones. After months of playing I went to australia with my family and now I could buy a REAL one
so I tried almost every didj in the shop. A week later (still in australia) some nice aboriginal guy came to me when I was trying some didjes
in his shop and after some talking he taught me how to circular breathe and make a lot of different sounds on it. Since then I play it at least
4 times a week |
