2 techniques to finally compose your own didgeridoo piece

Gauthier Aubé 1 min read

This episode is in French. My podcast is only available in French for now.

It’s so frustrating to play your didgeridoo and not manage to come up with a “real” piece. Far from musical conventions, the didgeridoo remains an instrument apart: circular breathing, harmonic instrument, phrasings that aren’t always easy to write down… In short, it’s hard to structure your rhythms. In this podcast, I share with you two simple techniques I use to compose my own pieces. Both methods are accessible to everyone (even beginners) and will help you turn a simple rhythmic phrase into a piece that really sounds!

    Just like a taste experience, an audio/musical experience is even more satisfying when carefully imagined with a good description. Thanks for the podcast Gauthier!

    Tout comme l’expérience gustative, l’expérience auditive/musicale est encore plus satisfaisante quand elle est soigneusement imagé à l’aide d’une bonne description. Merci pour le podcast Gauthier!

      Thanks Patrick! Indeed, courses on composition will come one day or another. First I need to cover all the technical basics and then we’ll have fun with all of that. 🙂

      Merci Patrick ! Effectivement, les cours sur la composition arriveront un jour ou l’autre. Il faut d’abord que j’expose toutes les bases techniques et ensuite on s’amusera avec tout ça. 🙂
