ETHNIC MUSIC OF AUSTRALIA

The didgeridoo (English didjeridoo or English didjeridu, original name “yidaki”) is a musical wind instrument of the Aboriginal Australians. One of the oldest wind instruments in the world. It is made from a piece of eucalyptus trunk 1-3 meters long, the core of which has been eaten away by termites, and the end is treated with black beeswax. The instrument itself is often painted or decorated with images of tribal totems. To put it simply, the didgeridoo is a wind musical instrument of the Aborigines of northern Australia. This is one of the most ancient musical instruments on Earth. But how to talk about the didgeridoo to tell a little about it. When you hear the live sound of a didgeridoo for the first time, you will experience real contact with a miracle and will never forget it. The didgeridoo is not made by man, it is created by nature itself. Australian termites eat the inside of tree trunks and branches. All that remains is to find these “blanks” and the didgeridoo is almost ready. Not every native succeeds in doing this, since searching requires a special state of consciousness... Didgeridoos are also made from bamboo. Many instruments are decorated with traditional paintings and images of animal totems.

Playing the didgeridoo involves the cheeks, diaphragm, larynx, tongue, and lungs. Your whole body becomes a tool. Training allows you to learn how to control all muscles. The aborigines say that usually the muscles of the cheeks are needed only to prevent food from falling out of the mouth while eating. But if you train them...

Didgeridoo - didgeridoo is the European-American name for the wind overtone musical instrument of the Aboriginal Australians. In northern Australia, where the didgeridoo originated, it is called Yedaki. The largest didgeridoo reaches a length of 2.5 meters. It is intended for sacred ceremonies of the Dream Time holiday.

Didgeridoos come in a variety of shapes, depending on the shape of the branches and trunks. The voice of the didgeridoo is never repeated; each has its own special timbre and beauty. It is best to start learning on an instrument with a length of 1 m. up to 1m. 30 cm. The inner diameter of the hole on the mouthpiece side should be approximately 3 cm.

When playing, the technique of continuous breathing is used. Playing the didgeridoo accompanies rituals and helps to enter a trance. The uniqueness of the didgeridoo is that it usually sounds on one note (the so-called “drone”). At the same time, the instrument has a very large range of timbre. Only the human voice, the jew's harp, and partly the organ can compare with it.

12 - The whole world has been playing the didgeridoo for a long time!! Numerous clubs have been created, didgeridoos are sold on every corner! There are didgeridoo festivals!! And only in Russia nothing is known about her...

One of the most ancient musical instruments, according to the method of sound reproduction, it belongs to the group of wooden aerophones - wind instruments. Thanks to its exotic appearance and unusual timbre, similar to the throat singing of the peoples of Altai and the murmur of water, it has become quite widespread in modern music.

History of the didgeridoo instrument

The didgeridoo is an Australian wind musical instrument (Didgeridoo), used in the practice of totemic religious rites to enter a state of trance. This name was artificially assigned to it by Europeans and supposedly means “black” or “local trumpeter”. Different tribes of the indigenous people of the mainland call the instrument differently, for example: “Yolngu”, “Jinan”, “Kakutu”, “Mayalai”, etc. The most common ethnic name is “yedaki”.

Since the 20th century. Western musicians began to actively use the didgeridoo in their work, and Aphex Twin, who created the British dance hit “Didgeridoo,” played a special place in its spread. At the same time, many Australian publications began to write about the instrument.

Design and manufacture of didgeridoo

The Australian didgeridoo pipe is made of wood. To create an instrument, the natives use a termite-eaten eucalyptus trunk, from which they shake out the rot and attach a mouthpiece prepared from beeswax. Then they are covered with patterns and tribal symbols. The length of the classic didgeridoo reaches 1-3 m, and among modern European and American performers you can see specimens up to 7 m long. The body can be smooth, expanding towards the bell and spiral.

Currently, there are “budget” options made of plastic.

Types of instruments

Didgeribone - has some similarities with a trombone - consists of two tubes nested one inside the other. Thus, by pulling out or retracting one of them, the performer can change the pitch of the sound directly during the game. Inventor - C. McMahon.
Keyed - has a valve system, invented by G. Wiggins.

Multidrone – is distinguished by a long thin bell and mouthpiece, thanks to the oval shape of which the musician has the opportunity to play several sounds simultaneously. Inventor U. Thoren.

Didjflute - equipped with holes similar to those of a flute. You can play quite complex melodies on it, but the timbre of the instrument is inexpressive.

How to play the didgeridoo: Method of playing

Like playing music on other wind instruments, playing the didgeridoo trumpet requires a considerable amount of breathing. Therefore, for beginners in the “spiritual business” the first time will not be easy; they may even feel dizzy or have a little darkness in their vision. To avoid such “troubles”, those who want to seriously learn to play an instrument should master the technique of diaphragmatic breathing. Professional performers use a complex technique of cyclic (continuous) breathing, which consists of drawing “reserve” air into the swollen cheeks - when the breathing ends, the sound is produced by supplying this air, and at this time a deep breath is taken through the nose.

Sound production here is similar to the technique used when playing brass instruments, the so-called “bazing” - vibrating lips, as when pronouncing the sounds “fr” or “tpru”. This is quite difficult, so those who want to learn should be a lot patient.

This instrument, when it comes to the classic didgeridoo, recreates one tone, which is called a “drone”. While playing, the “trumpet player” can raise or lower the sound by pinching or relaxing his lips and regulating the air supply – “overblowing.”
At the same time, when playing the yedaki, you can pronounce different syllables and individual sounds, which will make the sound more varied and interesting.

It is also possible to perform a double staccato stroke—quickly pronouncing the syllables “ta-ka, ta-ka.”

Didgeridoo in the modern world

The instrument is played by many modern musicians, mostly electronic music performers. Fans of beatbox music choose the didgeridoo. It can be used to change and enhance the sound of your voice, creating richer sounds.

Doctors and representatives of the University of Zurich also paid attention to this instrument; they claim that playing the didgeridoo is good for health: it trains the upper respiratory tract, strengthens the heart, nervous system and relieves snoring.

Based on all of the above, we can say with confidence that the didgeridoo is one of the brightest and most unusual ethnic instruments, which is not without reason popular with lovers of exotic music.

Playing the didgeridoo video

Watch the video below to listen and enjoy the sound of the instrument.






Didgeridoo(English didjeridoo or English didgeridoo, original name “yidaki”) is a musical wind instrument of the Australian aborigines. One of the oldest wind instruments in the world.

Device and sound production

It is made from the trunks of eucalyptus trees, which are eaten away from the inside by termites. Tools similar to idaks are also made from bamboo, reed and plastic ( modern version). But the sound timbre of such instruments differs from the “voice” of their Australian “brothers”. To play the didgeridoo, the so-called “circular breathing” technique is used, due to which you can inhale without interrupting the sound. The lips, tongue, larynx, jaw, diaphragm and voice of the performer actively participate in the formation of sound. This explains the individuality of the sound of the didgeridoo in each individual case.
The uniqueness of the didgeridoo as a musical instrument is that it usually sounds on one note (the so-called “drone” or drone). At the same time, the instrument has a very large range of timbre. Only the human voice, the jew's harp, and partly the organ can compare with it.
Despite the fact that this is a single-tone instrument, adding a voice to the main tone, due to sound interference, you can obtain various melodic sound options: from rumble to imitation of the voices of animals and birds. By actively using the tongue, lips, the space of the oral cavity and varying the force of exhalation, you can significantly change the timbre coloring of the sound. The musical genres of music performed on Idaki can be roughly divided into two varieties: the meditative-trance genre and the rhythmic action. The first one speaks for itself. The second is interesting because it is, in essence, a practice of rhythmic breathing, because... the forced inhalation must be organically integrated into the “body” of a continuous rhythmic pattern. Those. the result is a kind of breathing technique similar to some well-known breathing techniques.
Thus, the overall ideology of the didgeridoo can be expressed by the following combination of words: “breath + sound + rhythm”.

Story

The didgeridoo is closely woven into the mythology of the Australian aborigines, symbolizing the image of the rainbow snake Yurlungur. Playing it accompanies corroboree rituals and helps to enter a trance.
Since the end of the 20th century, Western musicians have been experimenting with the didgeridoo (for example, Sophie Lacaze, Jamiroquai).

Usage

This instrument, having a very specific and low-pitched sound, is traditionally used by the Australian Aborigines to perform the Corroboree ritual.
The didgeridoo is widely used in electronic and ambient music. Steve Roach was one of the first to use the didgeridoo in ambient music and learned to play it during his many trips to Australia in the 1980s. In 1992, Aphex Twin used the sound of the didgeridoo in the dance song "Didgeridoo", which became a hit on British dance floors.
