Amazing Burrngupurrngu E yirdaki | Elijah Gunydjurruwuy

[erippke]

what is the noise at 52 seonds?

[ididjaustralia]

It isn't the yirdaki, just background noise, someone doing something behind us.

[erippke]

Thanks, when your listening to such a great player its hard not to think that they can produce any sound at will.

[OpinionGame]

Yeah, there was some critisicm with this kid, that he plays too fast and without spirit,

I really don't think thats the case at all, its evolution and the spirit evolves ! It sounds great and contemporary !

[sonofthedestroyer]

Contemporary but with an unmistakable traditional sound.

Normal contemporary players dont make this type of sound

[organist121893]

well he is showing the instrument's responsiveness but he is very good and if i could play that fast, i would do it

[Ganadores500]

This was good, this kid is REALLY good which tells us he has been practicing for a while...the sound resembles what a non-indeginous player would play but with a splash of old indiginous music....

[monkeyeagle]

Alright Guan,thanks for the correction!You are the Man with many years of experience with Yolngu traditions!New sounds to My ears though!Great Stick,Great Player!!!

[ididjaustralia]

Well, it is a new type of sound in that the compositions are new, but the technique is traditional as opposed to 'aeroplane' noises so to speak!

[cityhunterfan]

I understand that the technique is traditional, but the compositions are new. But what are "aeroplane noises"? Please define. Thanks so much for posting these great clips. Much love. And BTW, Elijah is awesome! His playing touches me spiritually.

[ididjaustralia]

"Aeroplane noises" are what we call some of the sounds made by non-Indigenous players, those shrill swirly noises...

[ididjaustralia]

Sounds like an aeroplane!

[SANdIDg]

It's amazing how fast he introduces the overtones, do you know if he uses the tongue? or just by droping the jaw and pressing the lips? Thanks... He's really incredible... Keep didging man!

[ididjaustralia]

I think he uses his tongue as well as pressing his lips together.

[monkeyeagle]

O.K.I will join the Chorus of People Praising this incredible young man!!!!I have NEVER heard anyone playing anything near this style on Yidaki before!I reckon he has invented a whole new way of playing!Wonderful!Tradition is Great,but so can innovation be!Thanks again Guan!!!

[ididjaustralia]

It is kinda traditional though, technique-wise. Glad you like it anyway, thank for the kind words!

[bamyili]

Guan - Elijah has taken the "rock n'roll" style to a completely new level. That was absolutely incredible!

[ididjaustralia]

For sure! I hope he keeps improving and getting stronger, as he's only young. Heaps of talent there which has already seen him on tour to France, Singapore, Malaysia. He's a good kid too with solid grounding.

[Petticlew]

Enjoyed this..yes, a teenager?

[ididjaustralia]

Only 15 years old. Puts us to shame...

[ididjaustralia]

Take a close listen to the 2 almost imperceptible overtone notes at 5 and 6 seconds. Beautiful delicate touch.

[flyangler18]

Wow. I should just quit now ;)

[flyangler18]

I'm looking to hearing lots more of Elijah- you can tell he's a teenager ;)

[ididjaustralia]

A few teenagers aspire to playing like that, they're fully into pace and syncopation. It'll be interesting to see how the next generation go about playing at ceremony.

[GoldDronzer]

Whoa there! That isnt a beatbox!

Anyway, nice didge.

[ididjaustralia]

Beatbox beatboy.
