Finished a show season last night in the Darwin Festival, Xite was flawless. B2003, three-o-three, Flexor modular patches, reverbs, Sonar as host for samples and ep's, all mapped to a Nektar P6.

It looks awesome !

Are you the joyous children eater on the right ?

Maybe someone took some video ? Show us more ! Darwin is a so exotic place to me ! Are music notes the same in the southern hemisphere ? How do you walk on the ceiling without falling ? haha... Sorry.

Australia was my dream number one when I was 18. Show us more !

Jopo - tis indeed myself on the right. You gotta visit Darwin! Lotsa culture up that way.

Gary - the insects tried to eat me, but cans of repellant saved me. Had to go two coats of spray around sundown... I'll be in touch later in the week

Bud - jk is on the money. T510 i5. Cheap and effective.

Maus - didn't know you were SA! Myself born in Penola, most school in Adelaide. Back in Perth now - my cheeks are freezing at 18C!

In the post above the bloke in the middle, Makuma Malalung, is from Elcho Island, part of the big group of Yolngu matha speaking countries across the top end. These folks invented what you know as the didjeridoo - it's actual name is Yidaki. It became a unifying presence across the rest of Australia well after white settlement.

I needed a yidaki in F for the show, so my other mate Renato called up his people in Groote Eylandt and I bought this one, beautifully crafted by his uncle. It's a mean axe. Malalung and I had a bit of a yidaki/tuba throwdown at one point of the show

Good to see you're doing fine Wayne.
Keep on gigging and Scoping.

So, if I understand well, the yidaki is the real name of what everybody here call didjeridoo ?? And it was used just in Elcho Island before white people arrive in Australia ?
And each yidaki is tuned in a note ? Does they exist for a full 12 semi tone ... or more ?

I was sure to learn a lot of things in Australia, that's why I dreamed to go there...

Here, in Europa, everybody believe it's used by all Australia native people ! Amazing. (or I didn't understand, which is also quite possible)

I'd like really to listen to the part with yidaki/tuba !

Yolngu people are the ones who use the yidaki in ancient ceremonies. The Yolngu are spread across a large area at the top of the Northern Territory - a bit like a nation with many smaller states, many dialects but same language group. Elcho is one part of that.

With yidaki/didgeridoo - it's as if Germans invented and named the tuba and the rest of the world called it the giant bonghorn.

The local word for whitefella up there is "balanda". I refer to the tuba as the "balanda yidaki"

As soon as you have an audio record or better, a video, please tell us !

Nothing as yet JoPo, but i can direct you to the Saltwater Band, Malalung's old band from Elcho. Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu sang with this band also. Yothu Yindi is another Yolngu band. Story goes it was Peter Tosh who introduced reggae to the top end when he went extracurricular after a tour
