mago masterclass: goanna exercise

here i'm trying to execute a lesson from the "mago masterclass" cd. this is some kind of learning cd recorded by / with no less than darry dikkarna brown! it's not only a good (and first of all: authentic!) source for studying traditional didgeridoo practices (from western arnhem land), its also fun and enjoyable to listen to.

during this recording i carried a single ear phone (like those folks from the FBI *g*) connected to my music player , so i was able to hear mr. brown, the singers and clapsticks. on the other hand i could follow my own playing. i captured the audio with my ZOOM H2 and the video with a simple digital camera. after that i merged all that together.

the instrument i'm playing here was handmade by me. i found it most suitable of all my sticks to play this part and it's close to the keynote of mr. browns instrument. you can find this stick also on older videos:

i hope you can see a difference regarding my playing, i don't want to talk in terms of "progress", but see yourself.
i also taped the instrument, cause my opinion about the painting has changed.

i hope you like my video, maybe (if you also own this cd) i could induce you to listen to it again or maybe doing an exercise yourself. have fun. greetings

It sounds pretty good to me! One improvement could be in the 2nd and the 3rd syllables, the 'ta' and 'mor' part. The 'ta' part could be a bit higher and sharper, the 'mor' part could be more pronounced. What you doing now is not wrong at all, but to get closer to the Bininj sound, emphasizing the 2nd and 3rd syllables will get you very close to how Darryl plays. Good work!
