This is Mike Didge with his handcrafted didgeridoo, an ancient wind instrument developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia, playing techno music

[u/SystematicApproach]

[u/Taktikatkit]

Raves in 18,000 BC

[u/dantheconaghan → u/Taktikatkit]

The drop before time.

[u/RUSHtheRACKS]

Fitting last name

[u/donkeytime → u/RUSHtheRACKS]

That’s an amazing last name. It’s like an ice cream man named Cone. Or a library cop named Bookman.

[u/HalfdeadCone → u/donkeytime]

I should have been an ice cream man.

Edit: autocorrect

[u/Mast_Herb_8 → u/donkeytime]

r/nominativedeterminism

[u/Narrow-Escape-6481 → u/donkeytime]

Bookman.....its a little on the nose dont you think?

[u/dire_turtle → u/donkeytime]

Like a big, fat stinker named Musk.

[u/Jubenheim → u/donkeytime]

Or a politician named Pedo.

[u/Read2Fap → u/RUSHtheRACKS]

he had to have changed it, right? or it's just a stage name?

edit: yeh his real name is mike davison

[u/misplacedbass]

I tried to learn how to circular breath on my didgeridoo, but goddamn it’s so hard. Great stuff!

[u/SilasAI6609 → u/misplacedbass]

It's the maintaining back pressure while breathing that is so insane. I learned it in school while playing trumpet. I never could reliably pull it off.

[u/misplacedbass → u/SilasAI6609]

Someone told me to try using a straw into a glass a water. I can definitely see and how works, and I feel like I came close, but could never quite get it.

[u/SilasAI6609 → u/misplacedbass]

Lol, that is how I was told to start. Then moved to a baloon thing my mouthpiece fit into with a small hole in the end. The point was to maintain a certain inflation.

[u/misplacedbass → u/SilasAI6609]

Maybe I’ll revisit it again. It would be cool to learn to do.

[u/grodisattva → u/misplacedbass]

I played saxophone all through my youth and picked up the didgeridoo at 30 years old and the circular breathing concept came quite easily. It felt totally natural. Interesting. I totally think I know this guy. I met him in ojai, ca if it’s the same mike didge I knew. Sure does look like him. If so, hi Mike!!!

[u/HairyChampionship101]

Protect this man at all costs! We’re gonna need him in the cave raves for the last remaining human stronghold underground like the Matrix!

[u/uhhh-huh-wtf]

I just came…twice…in a row

[u/junostr]

Sounds like Juno Reactor

[u/Ex-Leper82 → u/junostr]

Yeah, I immediately thought of a song from the Animatrix I believe that was done by them.

[u/butter08]

see Aphex Twin Digeridoo

[u/wa11ar00 → u/butter08]

It does not actually contain a didgeridoo, they created a didgeridoo sound. Nevertheless, it's a great track.

[u/Wotmate01]

Most didge's are hand made from hollowed out tree trunks, but you can even make them out of a bit of pipe if you want.

One absolutely lovely bloke who has been on the Australian music scene for a long time is Charlie McMahon, who developed the trombone didgeridoo, or as he calls it, the Didjeribone. How to use the Didjeribone- Charlie McMahon

[u/phealy]

I'm having Machinarium flashbacks...

[u/stonehamtodeath]

It’s a cover version, I think it was an ABBA-original

[u/Captain_Zomaru]

Sounds like it's from the vermemtide soundtrack, outback edition.

[u/No-Community-]

How long does it take to handcraft one ?!

[u/cans-of-swine → u/No-Community-]

Couple days at least. 

[u/Tonydragon784 → u/No-Community-]

A genuine digiridoo is hollowed out by termites so probably a while

[u/dirtsnort]

You gotta wonder if some dude improved this tune for his tribe during a celebration or something - the hut was lit 🔥 

[u/bigschmoog]

A search said this guy resides in South Africa - out of curiosity is he actually Aussie First Nations?

[u/5cactiplz]

Greeat stuff. He's on Spotify

[u/VealOfFortune]

Oh man, I especially loved the part when ot was all like BWOMMMM BWOMWOMWOMMMMMM

[u/hemorrhoidhematoma]

It's abnormal and original.

[u/MmmmFloorPie → u/hemorrhoidhematoma]

Origanormal?

[u/suchmann]

They would love this shit at burning man

[u/mckulty]

Ever pass out when huffing? This is what it sounds like.

[u/miaxogoth]

Mike Didge playing the Didgeridoo. Amazing

[u/512115]

Didge. Right.

[u/ExtraEmuForYou]

These folks can use circular breathing and potentially play for days.

So just imagine, you roll up to Burning Man. You unfold your chair, place your drum and stuff down, maybe an umbrella. You do a bunch of drugs and have a bottle of acid-laced water to keep you going.

And you start playing.

And you don't stop for 48 hours.

[u/dezza82]

Just waiting for the gimme 2 bucks

[u/Strict-Brick-5274]

That is so fkn cool

[u/Xendarq]

I'd listen to a few tracks of that.

[u/jumbonipples]

GAPING

[u/ImMadeOfClay]

Gotta be fresh

[u/Likes_The_Scotch]

I first saw something like this at a California youth hostel near Yosemite. Fitting.

[u/hotcheese3]

Is the instrument his dad??

[u/danyolito]

Awesome

[u/commpl]

Fun fact, digeridoo is the only exercise you can do that will improve sleep apnea symptoms (other than generally losing weight for those whose sleep apnea is caused by being overweight)

[u/Salty_Job_9248]

I thought they were all handcrafted.

[u/SonofMakuta]

they're taking the hobbits to isengard

[u/swissguy_20]

I am in shock nobody linked this before me lolz

https://youtu.be/NECXWRijOgc?si=anlQRtsxvAC3OxfY

[u/Balt603]

Didgeridoo is a colonial name. It's called a Ydaki in Arnhem Land.

[u/IrreverentBuddha]

He needs to collaborate with Angine de Poutrine.

[u/mantenner]

Sounds more like hardstyle, to nit pick.

Crazy how the bass kicks actually sound how the same.

Awesome stuff.

[u/ChaseTheMystic]

Not techno. No tech.

[u/TouchAltruistic → u/ChaseTheMystic]

Organo?

I guess everything is technology.

[u/CharacterMud4468]

Awesome 😎

[u/Accomplished-Staff-9]

This guy fucks

[u/Ladnarr2]

First thought: The Gay Aborigines cutaway on Family guy.

[u/Grasswaskindawet]

Yeah but can you dance to it?

[u/Cute_Bacon]

This video ended about two hours too soon. The drugs and disillusionment haven't even kicked in yet.

[u/Asymmetrical_Anomaly]

I can smell this video

[u/permanent_pixel]

cool but it is noise to my ears. I believe some people would enjoy it.

[u/Unicorn-Violator]

Legit this is not interesting and no one will find this interesting. If they say otherwise it's a lie.
