Complicated Rhythm Soundscape
This 5 minute soundscape is on a low A yucca didgeridoo. The rhythm is 11 beats. I’ve added some voice and explored the tempo. I demonstrated my learning process for this rhythm in the videoruclips.net/video/YmMttHPYvck/видео.htmlsi=5ORVfzPwA7xKd8Qc
The rhythm is 11 beats:
Dum’ kata nka dee dee t-tg taka nka nka dum’ t-tgwith a breath on the dums (marked by ‘) and breath on the n of nk.
Each of dum, kata, nka, dee, taka, and t-tg take the same amount of time.
Rhythm Source:
I listened to a very fast piece of music by Dubravko Lapaine and wrote down what I heard. I’m quite sure what I constructed is NOT what he played. But that’s ok. I like my version his rhythm.

Faster Learning of Complicated Didgeridoo Rhythms

I’m learning an 11 count rhythm by turning it into smaller chunks and working backwards from the end. Do you practice rhythms this way? In many styles of music chunking happens with equal length segments, here I choose chunks that are like words for me. I then collect the words together to make phrases. The rhythm is 11 beats:Dum’ kata nka dee dee t-tg taka nka nka dum’ t-tgwith a breath on the...

On a 1200 km road trip we got stopped for almost two hours as crew did snow clearing work to prevent avalanches. A box didge and a beautiful view helped us pass the time. No avalanches occurred. Enjoy the beauty of winter evergreen trees coated in fluffy white snow. The rhythm is a wandering mix of takawaka and tawa.

Low A Didgeridoo Rhythmic Soundscape

Fifteen minutes of exploring rhythms on a Didgeridoo in low A. What went well? We played for 15 minutes and only dropped it twice. The tea break was exceptionally short. The BearWithMe Audio Team can tell what the various rhythms are. Can you? What can I do differently? Try again and play for a full 15 minutes straight. Work on more dynamics (have you noticed this is a theme in my comments?) Cr...
Luscious Low Didgeridoo in F# (46 Hz)

The Purple Lady is a purpleheart wood Iglica in F#. A dream didgeridoo. The rhythm is two bars of 11 beats. My life would be easier if I chose simpler patterns. I practice my listening skills by listening to recordings of Dubravko Lapaine and creating something (that I can play) that has the rhythm structure that I hear. I have learned to hear faster by listening with the intent to transcribe. ...

Low notes with Laughter

Dual didge by ​⁠@lucoDeMerbo. Called Laughter for the joy it brings to those who try to play it. Note is A0 so my phone did not pick up all the sound spectrum but it still sounds luscious with headphones. #didgeridoo #lownote.

Dubravko Lapaine asked people to practice a rhythm 30 minutes a day everyday for two weeks. He wanted the first day shared and the last day shared so we could see our progress. This might be the fifth day of something close to 30 minutes a day. As Medvjedi worked on this for several weeks after it came out in September this is not really the beginning and is much better than initial attempts. t...

      @Mixed_Activist Dubravko's Sumos are glorious. If you can play low notes then ask for an A or G. The A is just enough higher that it is very, very playable. The G is a delightful rumble that I love. 🥰 I learned to play low notes by using an Andrea Furlan hardfiberglass telescopic didgeridoo. I added 5-10 cm of length at a time and kept asking for more pipe. 🤣 The lowest note that I regularly play is A0 (the octave below the Sumo A) but I don't have the technology to record that well. ☹️ Singing base must be awesome.

      @JamesTruett-d3o It's a rhythm that I extracted from something much more complicated by Dubravko. Three lines of 11 beats. The sound motifs are Dum'; dee ; tk; wk; and t-tg. Each of those is the same length so the t-tg is fast for me. Can you work out what I'm playing from that?
