@travelhomeandgo : Yes, I use it every expiration. Infact one important thing in wobble is producing a strong and clean high harmonic (like to say "iii") to set it apart from the "simple" base drone.
Do you breathe eatch time you drop air from your mouth ? Because initially those are circular breathing techniques. When i do that fast, i feel i'm breathing and getting air too much.
It's not compulsory, but suggestable, for me, to breathe everytime or however to do it "symmetrically". I mean that breathing should follow a rithm too.
If you are getting too much air is normal, you'll get used to air management by practicing. Just try some different combinations: berathing eveytime, one yes and one no, two yes, one no, two no, one yes... Breathing slow, fast, deep, with different parts of lungs... ust experiment.
@widgeriwoo : It's not easy to understand by written word... Anyway, try to mark more on the high harmonics. "Uo - iii, uo - iii" where "uo" stands for the inhalation and "iii" the high harmonics. It could also depend on the kind of didje you have. To make a claner sound cilindrical (or near to cilindrical) ones are better.
@widgeriwoo : Yes. Yidakis are conical. Better to play percussive/tooting, lower in harmonics. Also, if the inside is not varnished the instrument is more porous, so it's more soundproof, ans the sound is more voiceless. So, perfect for traditional aboriginal style. If you prefer a claner sound you should varnish your yidaki with some not toxic varnish, or, as aboroginal kind do, put it into the water!
@furrytummy Thanks for that mate. I really love trad style but i am strating to look into a more modern style of playing, markus meuer is someone who i think has a really nice style. Thinking of buying a new didge from didgeridoo breath which would be more suitable more a more modern style. thanks for your help!!
@derzugfahrer : No. If you say "D" you are making a staccato. In these samples I'm just using my diaphragm. Anyway, it's not important! These is simply very fast circular breathing! To get the "water like" sound be sure to make very clean high armonics.
If you really want to (but I suggest not to, it's unuseful caos) see this as a phrase it would be:"Hn i, hn i, hn i (insp i, insp i, insp i...)... And so on. They're just a simple circular breathing. :-)
Excellent video dude. I've been trying to figure out how to do the cheek wobble and your video gives a great close up showing the circular breathing with it. Thanks man.
With the cheek wobble, when the sound starts to "flip" is that all coming from your diaphragm (like "HaHaHa, HaHaHa, HaHaHa") or is it coming from making a "Ti Tu Wa, Ti Tu Wa, Ti Tu Wa" sound with the tongue?
@amsterdamob : In this video sample I'm just using the diaphragm, but I wouldn't say "HAHAHA, HAHAHA...", I'd rather say "H-H-HN" (this could seem the same, but it's not exactly).
If you want to do it using your tongue you can do it, but you're using diaphragm as well. You always use diaphragm. Anyway with tongue you should think to "T-k-Wa", infact double tongueing staccato "t-t" is harder than "t-k", which is more... Singing! :)
No no, the sounds comes from moving my cheeks. Actually when we circular breathe we use to move our tongue to better push the air from the bottom of the palate to the front teeth, anyway this is not the triple tongueing. If I was triple tongueing the sound would be staccato, but without losing the wobble sound. This is what Gaulthier, Zalem, Mark Robinson do! :-) Here I'm posting a video explaining this... So, stay tuned, ok? ;-)
muchas gracias compadre la verdad me ayudo mucho !!!
thanks a lot dude, you where very helpful for many people arround the globe, like the guy before said im gonna practice... and practice... and practice !!
Yes, I breathe every beat. It's better to do this for "balancement" reasons, I think. I think that, when you can, it's better to breathe. We must have care of our body... :-)
And, yes, I go slowly to learn how to integrate the rhythm in the breathing but mainly to make the movements of my mouth better recognisable. I personally think that a good way to learn is imitating.
Yes, you need a high backpressure didje. In fact I have a very good eucaliptus didje from queensland, with cool sounds but bad backpressure: I don't play it anymore. Yidakis from arnhem land are normally better or if you don't have too much money you can buy something like mine.
i have been looking for a video such as this one for long time but still its better to explain what you\say inside the didgeridoo so it will be more clear i am sure you have heard the term "didgeridoo articulation" example "taka ta taka ti"
in this way its more clear to understand what you are actually playing Cheers and hope to see a response :)
I'm saying nothing in the didje. The "taka tai" like sounds are tongue percussions. Here I'm simply executing the three main circular breathing techniques very fastly. You can notice that when I play slowly the sound is a "normal" circular breathing groove. Once you start speeding up the sound seems to "flip" giving a tremolo sound that someone (Charlie McMahon first) called "wobble" (I edited the informations in the right part of the page).
Anyway wobble himself is not exactly a precise technique, you can obtain it in many ways. These are a few (the ones I can execute properly). There's a very cool (but very difficult too) kind of wobble made vibrating the diaphragm very very fast. Hear this... That's amazing: h t t p : / /w w w . my space . co m / bratamobbu
That's called a toot. Toots are trumphet like sounds that you can obtain from every kind of pipe with the trumphet technique. Didjeridoos normally have three toots: the first is pretty simple to do, the second and especially the third are more difficult. The technique is similar to the "normal" didje technique to do the base sound but you have to keep your lips hard, not smooth. Not like the "horse cry" but more like a buzz.
Spettacolo!!!! Questo è uno strumento dal suono affascinante,e tu sai suonarlo anche bene,io ci ho provato una volta ma era meglio se lo usavo come cannuccia per bere un bel boccalone di birra!!

Both systems are a bit... Exaggerated maybe.

The second rhythm is following: di dowa - di dowa - di dowa, .... (breath on wa)
The third one: do howa-do howa-do-howa (breath on wa)...
is that right?

Instead of using your cheeks to keep air you move your jaws down keeping your cheeks still.
Every time you inhale move your chin in the direction of your feet.

Secondly...Do you recommend going slowly for a bit at first to learn how to integrate the rhythm of the circular breathing?

and, oh yeah...is the circular breathing an element in the flip? It sounds like you are taking a breath with each "wi-wo" pair.

Hey Furry,
I have practiced a lot and sometimes it works, but it takes a lot of back pressure from the didge. It's hard to keep the rhythm flowing.
Nevertheless Thanks again!
