I spent time "listening" to certain areas of our country, places rarely seen, his music found its way into my own collection during that period, so I saw a connection like a synchronicity, the land "is" music it's just people can't hear it. His yirdaki talks as yours does. I spent many years just walking the bush and re connecting to something very, very, ancient. David's playing was unique as yours is, and I felt that he "knew" more than people are saying.
thanks for this and other clips. I am more than happy that you have included some mago clips.
Darryl doesn't mention using voice/voice hums while playing mago in his CD. I am clad that you mention this at your pages conserning this instrument. I think using voice is very natural part of playing mago - one forgets to mention basics.
Anyway I am just happy that you happened to mention this.
Yup, sure is an Ambrose Cameron mago. Ambrose was one of the most consistently brilliant mago makers of his time. He had it down to a fine artform and made many top top pieces. Sometimes he made lesser instruments, probably for fast pocket-money, but if you can get one of his high-powered sticks, do so because they are worth it and increasingly rare. We have several in the iDIDJ Reference Collection, and maybe it is time to let some go, so stay tuned...
Thanks for this nice videos Guan! One thing drawing my attention is that even when he tries to emulate Blanasi style, it is clearly different I think..interestingly nice..
Yes, everyone is different in their playing. Even when Larry Winiwini tries to emulate his father Djalu, one can hear distinct differences. It might comes down to subtle anatomical differences... different shape lips, different size of the oral cavity, different tongue dexterity etc.
sounds like "blanasi the bomb" cool ha haaaaaa

@RobSchneeberger....well, for one, the oxygen deprivation from playing long periods is a natural high!

And because it is so basics I forgot to mention I ment the hums in Mor part of a basic Di Ta Mor rythm.

You can use the hums in other parts of the basic Di Ta Mor patterning to create more interesting effects too!
ididjaustralia 5 years ago
Yup, the vocal hums are important to mago style!

Is it possible to play this technique on a Yidaki?
sonofthedestroyer 4 years ago
It is possible but it won't sound as good. A bit like playing classic guitar songs on an electric guitar.
ididjaustralia 4 years ago
Mago sound purely... I could listen for hours!
Many greetings from cold Switzerland!
