Simon Sanders - Percussion, programming

Of this track, Ianto says "My trip to Australia in '87 left me with many strong impressions, three of which are expressed in this track: the hugeness of the sky compared to the English sky I'm used to; the excitement over the approaching bi-centennial celebrations; and the amount of time it might take for the colonist and colonised populations to understand, and harmonise with, each other. I hope some of this comes across in the music."

Dominic Gaudious - Guitar
Ian Hesford - Didjeridoo

Dynamic, intense and passionate are just some of the words used to describe the innovative work of instrumental guitarist and composer, Dominic Gaudious. After successfully releasing two albums and touring with an eclectic rock band in the 1980's, Dominic found his passion in the contemplative world of Classical/World Beat music. Working mainly with six & twelve-string acoustic guitars and incorporating exotic instruments such as the Australian Didjeridu, Dominic expanded on the theme and created a uniquely intricate playing style which blends the sounds of Classical, Jazz, Flamenco, Folk, and World Beat.

Andy Graham - didgeridoo, drumkit, djembe, ashiko, shakers

Primal Elements is Andy's all-instrumental CD fusing the powerful, ancient sound of the didgeridoo with the African Djembe drum and contemporary drum kit grooves. The 11 tracks range from THUNDER (driving & high-energy) to SOLITUDE (22 minute meditation of haunting didgeridoo sub-harmonics). This CD features didgeridoo, djembe, ashiko, drum kit, double chimes, shakers, claves, jaw harp, breath, and a even a circular saw blade!

There are many drummers out there as well as didgeridoo players. But not many who makes music by playing both instruments simultaneously. This is Andy Graham and his 'Primal One-Man Band': a completely unique musical act that evolved from a casual experiment into a successful musical act. A kit drummer first and foremost, Andy Graham has played drums for various rock and funk bands since 1985. Drummers such as Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Phil Gould, and Ian Mosely inspired his drumming style. Influenced by Mickey Hart's Planet Drum in 1991, Andy developed a passion for African hand percussion. In 1994, Andy was introduced to the Aboriginal didgeridoo. Discovering the powerful sound of this unique ancient instrument, he used it in performance when the music did not require drums. Andy soon realized that it was a little too awkward to switch between instruments from behind the drum kit during a live performance. To remedy this, he built a special stand to hold a didgeridoo at face level, allowing him to play it without getting up from the drums. This new didgeridoo drumkit allowed Andy to experiment with the idea of playing both instruments simultaneously. He spent several weeks working through the frustration of adding yet another component to the already busy art of kit drumming. It was like adding a fifth limb to his body. Upon successfully fusing the two very different playing styles, he found that this new sound had a life all its own. Excited with this new emphasis on world music, Andy added his other passion, African drums, to his setup, along with a new, improved rack that holds 3 didgeridoos, and such additions as cowbells, wood blocks, and a circular saw blade.

Burnt Earth's collection of ceramic musical instruments ranges from the ordinary to the exotic, and includes many varieties of percussion instruments, flutes, didjeridus, globular horns, trumpets, chimes, and even string instruments. Barry delights in exploring new ideas for musical acoustics, and combining existing systems into new "hybrid" instruments. His didjibodhran, for example, is a combination of the Australian didjeridu, a wind instrument, and the Irish bodhran, a frame drum. Another hybrid, the stone fiddle, is a combination fiddle, flute and drum.

Joining Barry in the ensemble are Richard Smith, Beth Hall, and Geoff Brown. The members of Burnt Earth have been making ceramic music together for several years. Their musical backgrounds range from classical to jazz to rock, and they have performed as members of other musical groups throughout the Americas and Europe.

The Burnt Earth ensemble will release its first full-length CD in 2003.

Original Track 7:35
In the hot sun, flies and dust, standing on the black snake. I watch strange metallic creatures fly by. I hold up my hand and one stops. I ask the pilot where he is going. "Cite...", "Let's go brother". We glide towards the hive of lights. The helter skelter of Babylon begins.

Andrew Langford in concert at the Sounds of Starlight Theatre presents a musical and visual journey throught the ancient landforms, history, light and space of Australia's heartland. The production is enriched with photographic images and special effects. Andrew's mastery of the didgeridoo, his unique style and contemporary playing of outstanding rhythms have established him as one of the worlds foremost didgeridoo players.

From Emily Gap, site of the Arrente tribe's Caterpillar Dreaming, to the Howling Wilderness where Australia's last camel expedition met disaster; from noisy outback mining towns to quiet camps ideal for star gazing, Andrew Langford's world-famous didgeridoo show takes spectators on a sound excursion through the unearthly red landscapes of the desert interior. Didgeridoo, drums and keyboards beat out the eternal rhythm of the bush while the typography is also captured in stunning slide images by the renowned central Australian photographer, Mike Gillam.

Andrew has recorded four albums: 'Echoes in the Dust' (with Ted Egan), 'Jedidge', 'Didgeridoo Tracks' and 'The Sounds of Starlight Theatre'.

This is the story of three musicians who, by the grace of the Fates, banded together in order to satisfy the demands of the landlord, the tax collector, and the McDonald's drive-through window. For these are the three things that rambling musicians such as The Bringers must satisfy on a monthly basis. It was decided that the Fiddler, the Drummer, and the Didgeridu-er (say that three times fast!) would travel the globe in search of an audience.
With Michi Regier on fiddle, Vash on the drums, and Byron Miller on the didge, the Bringers combine over 20 years experience as acoustic musicians. Five years ago, the Bringers decided to combine their talents, performing at Renaissance Fairs, corporate functions, and numerous cultural festivals throughout the country.

Byron Miller, 27, was born in Berlin, Germany, but most of his growing up was near Annapolis, Maryland. Before he picked up the Australian Didgereedoo three years ago, Byron started with the trumpet in 3rd grade and played that through the middle of high school. He switched over to the French horn and stayed with that through college. (Online, Byron goes by the name 'Mandrake' which explains why he is mistakenly listed as Byron Mandrake on the CD liner notes... yet another typo to appologize for.)

Byron always considered himself somewhat of an anachronist, so the Ren Fair scene was pretty easy for him to get involved in. He often felt that explaining the presence of the Australian didgereedo (which is reportedly 40,000 years old and probably the oldest wind instrument in the world) was difficult to do in an in Renaissance European environment. So necessity invented his travelling character and thus, "Dingo" was born. Byron has a unique ability for turning the ancient didge into a unique instrument that blends well with the trio's performing style.

Funk in the Trunk was recorded using a low B eucalyptus didge of unknown origin. This didge was chosen, because out of all the didgeridoo's in John's collection, it was the hardest one to play rhythmically, so it was more of a challenge. Halfway through the recording, the old 4-track recorder took its last breath, so in time crunch, John tried his hand at recording directly to hard disk on a PC for the first time. What started out as a slow tribal rhythm recording on the old recorder, turned into a 100% completely different tune. The entire song was recorded directly to hard disk on a 500 MHz PC. Two drum tracks were programmed, merged and looped, along with the keyboard lines. Bass, didgeridoo, clapsticks, and
shakers were then added. The "yeah!" that is heard during the breaks is a
snippet from an answering machine message from an unknown caller.

"Walt Young does what no one else does in his own particular raucous style. Playing the didgeridoo (really playing it) is no small accomplishment. Playing didge and guitar at the same time however is phenomenal. Now add some foot percussions and squeeze some vocals in somehow and Viola! Primordial Boogie!!"

Exerpts of the lyrics from "Didgeridoo and Guitar Blues" also from "Working My Way Back Home"....
not the whole story but you'll get the drift.

----------- <snip> -----------
Well, I got me a didgeridoo a few years ago, and learned how to play in just a day or so.
I added some guitar to my hollow wood and I was knocking them out like Bon Jovi and Jonny B. Good.
Playing at parties and coffe houses, Joshua Tree for free. Yeah...

Well I'd practice all day and sometimes all night, and my girlfreinds attitue was getting uptight.
She didn't understand this didgeridoo, she said grow up Walt, you got nothing better to do?
She liked the Beatles, disco music, Michael Bolton.... Blah...
---------- <snip> -------------
Well, I took my guitar and diges and all, and I bid farewell to my girlfriend and all.
Put my didges and guitar in my car and it wasn't very long, I was becoming a star.
Playing coffee houses for free, living on fast food, cappuccino and carrot cake.
Yeah... having a good time.
--------- <snip> ---------------
I'm not going to give up my didgeridoo. I'm not going to give up my guitar.
Bye bye, see ya, bye bye, so long...
I'm just working my way back home.... copyright Walt Young 2001
