My Didgeridoo
Here are some photos of my Didgeridoo and its hand made wall fittings.
The didge is bought in Fremantle, Perth, Western Australia in October 2005 during a vacation down there. The raw material is as tradition requires a Eucalyptus tree that is naturally hollowed out by termites. This tree is searched for in the bushland and processed by a native aboriginal craftsman.
The wall fittings are genuinely blacksmith by Kenneth Eriksson, my father. They are designed specifically for this didgeridoo and crafted the traditional way with hammer and heat from a coal based forge.

The Didgeridoo sound
The didgeridoo sound is based on the sound of the musicians vibrating lips which is magnified by the Didgeridoo between the mouthpiece and the other end. The sound is then varied by different tongue and lip movement.
Here follows a few short recording that I made when playing on my didgeridoo.
Dual Ticidicito
Dual Ticidicito is based on two not concurrent recordings that are put together as a left and right channel to create a stereo effect.
Lolilowhoo
Lolilowhoo is a single recording using the "L" sound.
