I love the bass and profound sound of didges. I feel that this sound is a kind of elementary basis which makes us travel back to the roots of sound. Don't you have simple questions? Aaaaggghhh!!! |

The root. Nada Brahma - The sound is God / the sound that is God / the sound-current at the heart of all things. Cool and funky! |
| Ossi from Finland |
Buzzing shrieking humming rhythmic noise. In able hands (or lips!) a didgeridoo produces a soundscape that appears to be a liminal passage between what is natural and what is non-natural - one may recognize the "speech" of certain animals or deep howl of a wind and yet experience something that is truly out of the ordinary. |

| Ross from Australia |
Beautiful. However to be more technical a didgeridoo player can produce a range of different sounds that are variations of the didgeridoo's fundamental drone note. The sounds can be accentuated softened sharpened and given character and colour in a variety of ways. When these are combined to create patterns of sound they produce rhythms which are the foundation for didgeridoo playing. The sound is dependent on the person playing the skill and the desired style. Rhythmic enchanting and soulful are adjectives that describe the didj. |

The drone part is like a tuba the harmonic overtone is like Tuvan throat-singing or playing the jaw harp (a.k.a. "Jew's harp"). |

The basic sound is a deep deep sound filled with harmonics. Then there are uncounted variations on top of that sounding like a cross between talking/chanting and a big growling animal. Then on top of that there's a whole layer of sounds you would associate with weird modern synthesizers only they're organic instead of electronic... Very hard to describe. |

An organic cosmic sound. The sound is beyond classification - it is more than the sound of the earth it is like the sound the universe makes when it vibrates. I know of no other sound that can be compared to it |
