Effect of Didj Sound |
Adam Erickson from USA |
I am entranced by the sound of the didj. I love playing and listening. Their is nothing else like the feeling of becoming
in tune with your didj. |
Al Al from Taiwan |
My English is not good I am a didj love good sound didj right now is my toy I love it |
Andrew White from USA |
The didge can be so very calming during slow play for meditation and can also get you grooving with toots hollers and fast
playing! |

The didjeridu sound makes me visualize myself in a beautiful place in Australia. I love the unique music that the instrument
creates. When I hear the instrument being played I can help but sit back relax and enjoy the mysterious sounds emitted from one
of the most unique instruments ever made. |
Angelo Conti from Italy |
Relax me deeply |

It makes me proud to live in a country with such a rich history. |
Anthony Valerio from USA |
Playing and listening have different effects. Nothing compares to playing. I feel like my thoughts are directed to my instrument.
I feel as if a field of energy is surrounding me and my body and surroundings dictate how the field is manipulated. I find it
exciting to play in different environments. When I listen I think of styles and techniques that are being played and I usually
end up playing before the music finishes. |

Anything healer like the dolphin basslinetecnostick |
Ben Lau from Singapore |
Very transient effect... spiritual-like like the Didj is almost trying to tell us about its history from since the traditional
Aborigines played it... and I'm the instrument the Didj needs to tell the story... |

The sound forms pictures in my mind of distant lands with exotic life. Its the sound of adventure |
Bill Hayes from United States |
Our people believe that the Creator puts certain instruments into the hands of our people for use in certain ceremonies. We
American Indians have started to use the sound of the didj for healing. |
Bill Williams from USA |
It is a really unique sound that gives depth and passion to the music |

A feeling of being back and closer to nature |

I can say it has any spiritual effect on me at all. I find it to be fun entertaining and creative. |
Bruce Shillinglaw from USA |
Purely visceral from the first hearing. It speaks to me of wild places and deep time beyond reckoning. Even listening to the
small .wav or MP3 clips on the net I can feel something leaping deep inside. I don really fully understand just exactly _what_
it is just yet - but I feel drawn to explore it further. |
Bryan Brady from USA |
Exciting yet relaxing at the same time. |
Bryan Campbell from USA |
Anywhere from meditative introspection to raucous booty shakin! Feels like the resonance inherent in all things. |
Cameron Macmillan from Australia |
Have always loved the sound. been playing 6 years and trying to get more sounds out of my current didges. |
Carmen Hertzig from New Zealand |
Relaxes me. sends me into a state where I feel I could cope with anything. |

Didj gets me a lot of pleasure and very good sensations. Didjes vibration is for me an anti-stress without which I can not
take place any more as a drug. |

Spine-shivering when done properly (i.e. not by me!!) |
Dave Mock from USA |
It sounds tribal with a very deep soul. It puts you in a trance your mind journeying back to ancient times when it was played
in Aboriginal cultures in a very different world we now have today. |

Eric Castonguay from USA |
The drone and modest variations can be very soothing while the Toots and loud animal sounds can be exhilarating. |

When I first heard one I was completely taken aback by the hypnotic tone that it produced. I have been involved in electronic
music for several years and have had the opportunity to use many different types of synthesizers both digital and analogue. The
wealth of sounds that they can produce is remarkable but I still feel that nothing sounds as unique and organic as a didjeridu. |
Eveline Vincke from Belgium |
It makes me relaxed and I'm feeling in an other dimension. |
Ezra Shively from USA |
Very soothing and reminiscent of universal woe |
Frank Eisenblätter from Belgium |
Every time again I am amazed how playing a didge can give one such a vital energy and relaxing at the same time ( the good
breathing action !!). |
Fred Pranger from Netherlands |

Fruyk Clark from USA |
It definitely becomes a meditation while I am playing and while listening it excites me to want to play its a dusty desert
at the first drops of rain (anticipation/cool/hot) |

In Europe I heard a guy play live didj with electronic music playing as background. It was really awesome and different to
what I heard in Australia. Has a real warm feel to the music. |
Greg Rushlow from USA |
Meditative lost in no thought. |
Guru Iyer from India |
After I heard it first time I could feel something was happening in my heart it cannot explain to exactly but I never experience
such thing with any other instrument in my life. |

The didjeridu takes me into a new world |
Name withheld by request |
I think the two previous questions are bad questions. I like Didjes played both traditionally and western style for different
reasons. western style because it adheres to the tastes that us westerners have and traditional because it reminds me that things
can be done in other ways. whether a didj is played alone or not I like it alone a bit more but if its there and I can't hear
it or can hardly hear it I don't like that. more than one or two other instruments is too many. |
Herman Wennink from Netherlands |
Nice |

Earthy transcendental grounding. |
Jeremy Rossman from United States |
It is amazing it makes me completely relaxed when I play mine no matter what just playing a nice mellow meditative drone for
a little while . I also love the way my 5 month old son looks at me and the dig when I play its like an awe stricken look of
pure amazement. I really wish I could afford a decent dig but its not in the budget at the. |

It depends on the style. Some songs are relaxing while others are energizing. The tempo style and tone all effect the mood
that's created. |

The didjeridu brings me to another level. when I am playing the didj and I feel its vibrations going through me I go within
myself and it brings me to my higher self. Even when I hear the didj being played I feel at one with myself and everything around
me. |
Lee Brown from England |

I find it really relaxing and I can't take myself away from it when it is being played I just love the sounds that come from
it and all the different undertones I can't wait to be able to play my didgeridoo properly as it was bought for me for christmas
I guess it takes a lot of practice |

Mike Bryk from USA |
It has the unique ability to both calm and energize at the same time much like meditation. I've only had one for a few months
now but I find the day feels incomplete if I don play for at least a little while. Another interesting thing is my two children
want me to play for them at bed time every night and it seems to help them drift off much faster than they would other wise.
I'm hoping to find a way to learn the circular breathing next. |

Very calming |
Mike Zen from USA |
A strange sense of familiarity and yet at the same time something completely new. |
Nancy Parmelee from USA |
The didj has affected my 8 year old immensely. We heard them being played at a Blast concert and he has listened to a CD of
mine that has a didj in it. He would like to learn how to play one and show his classmates. |

Everything from pure rhythmic sounds producing an enticing feeling to dance on to the purely spiritual sounds related to astral
travel both used depending on the intent to touch the people listening and their ability to be moved by the sounds. |
Roald Blommaert from Belgium |
A good relaxing energetic flowing feeling |
Robbie Applegate from USA |
Hypnotic and exotic |
Robert O'Shaunnessy from USA |
Incredibly soothing. I am also a backyard astronomer and I always take 2 or 3 CDs of Didj music to listen to under the night

I enjoy listening to the sound but since I've started playing I much prefer the sound of myself playing. The experience is
heightened when you can feel the vibrations throughout your whole body. I have never been close enough to another live player
to feel this. |

Well the first time I saw it was in Barcelona on the streets and I sat down rolled a big spliff and next thing I know I had
been there for more than 10 hours with the guys who were playing talking to them was really interesting as they described Australia
(and they most definitely were Ozzys!! with the accent...just joking to who may be reading this!!) the sound from the Didjeridoos
just complemented everything they said. In fact after Uni I am hoping to go to your shop and say Hi! |
