Tube - didjeridoo and electronics "epic world fusion" - CD Baby
Listen to two songs from the album - "Migraine 1 " and "Voices." |
A mixture of the
old and the new, the organic and the digital, Tube is a collaboration
between the oldest musical instrument in the world - the didjeridoo and
the newest - the computer.
It is also a collaboration between John Maxwell Hobbs, David Gamper of
the Deep Listening Band and See Hear Now, and David Azarch, the former
DJ of the Mudd Club.
After having worked with computer music for 15 years, I needed a break
from technology. With a little help from Stu Dempster of the Deep Listening
Band, I taught myself how to play the didjeridoo.
Why didjeridoo? Because it’s not made by humans, it’s made
of a eucalyptus branch hollowed out by termites. Humans are only involved
in the selection and decoration of the instrument; the individual character
of each didj comes from nature.
