11 best didgeridoo techniques

Product description

On The Tibetan Healing Music Collection, Nawang Khechog—a Grammy® Award nominee master of the Tibetan bamboo flute, and former Tibetan monk—uses spare melodies and textures to invoke an inner stillness that is the essence of healing and peace. It is so effective that one hospital has used this music hundreds of times to soothe women in childbirth. Nawang intends each composition to be a living, breathing meditation, suggesting the vast spaces and sacred serenity of his Himalayan homeland. The Tibetan Healing Music Collection includes three titles: Quiet Mind, Rhythms of Peace, and Sounds of Peace. Bamboo flute, accompanied by didgeridoo, gongs, bells, and drums.

The various tracks alternate Soundscapes and Sound’s Sculptures as in reaction to particular acoustic stimuli. The strange sounds produced with the (d)ronin create fantastic and unusual images. Auditory movements emerge quite naturally from deep memories and personal experiences lived in the course of time.        The (d)ronin is an instrument realized by musician Massimo Olla with some bass guitar strings and metallic springs stretched on a wooden structure; when strummed and struck with a cello bow, they are amplified and processed through echo-reverb.   Soundscapes’ tracks recreate tales in a web of unconscious relationships. A fusion of perceived, remembered, and imagined sound is condensed in the author’s personal geography, through a momentary suspension of meaning.        Tracks 1, 3, 5, 7 trigger the alternate apparition of the other tracks, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, so that an unconscious mental process is established, resulting in an original discovery and development of already trodden roads (harmonic chant, didgeridoo, memories of heard music) which are repeated as very short fragments or in the background.        Just one example: I Amsterdam (track 5) is the soundscape of a visit to the city of Amsterdam, where some auditory elements determine the memory of other sounds already encountered by fusing them. In this way, for instance, the sound of the plane that takes off and the clattering in the hall of Eindhoven airport become the deep sound of the Kargyraa chant of Tibetan monks.        The use of improvisation on pentatonic scales by cello overcomes our cultural conception of written music, being directly connected both to other cultures’ traditional techniques and one’s own private memory.
