This first clip is of Ondrej Smeykal playing a Chad Butler didjeridu while visiting us here at LA Outback. Ondrej came by to conduct a workshop at the house and he was kind enough to grace us with two solo didj pieces to be posted on our Youtube channel.

Check out a wide selection of didgerdioo made in Australia and available in the US at http://www.laoutback.com

  • ~FRIENDS~ I think the whole point of DIDGERID00 as a GIFT to all humans, is this: T0 EACH THEIR 0WN. Y0UR connection to Source, Y0UR connection to descifering and translating Earth Medicine. I've heard the word didgeridoo can translate to: Breath of the Earth, or Vioce of Gaia". Think of ALL the species on this planet. They all have their own unique voice. It's not for us to judge how someone else plays their instrument/sings their song. We don't have to like it, AND we don't have to disrespect.

  • He has developed a specially fast way to circular breathe that allows him to take a breath on the toot or horn sound. That allows him to play very fast rhythms. He started it, and now, years later, there are still very few people that can do it.

    We need to appreciate his ability to "play extremely fast and not compare him to traditional aboriginal playing. That is a totally different thing and I am sure the artist knows that.

  • whooaa

  • O my god.... Amazing

  • Sehr gut!

  • Nice didge work.

  • @BeeeAitchPeee Agreed: To each their own

  • @moshack as an advid didge player, agreed. Personally, it's a bit cluttered sounding to me, but hands down you've got to respect the originality and talent/intention.

  • @howhypa but what of us who do not wish to impose on your culture. Like me, im american, and never know what the land of AU is like. I dont know the natives, I havnt been told the stories, nor sook them out, but i dont want to "Imitate" their songs and styles for its meaning is lost unto me. So I, like Ondrej, am crafting cutting edge styles of playing this versatile instrument. There is no right or wrong way to play. Just keep on playing. ^_^ get lost in the rhythm, flow with the groove

  • dobře ty :-)
