Milkayngu MununggurrHARD TONGUE DIDGERIDOOExercises in Northeast Arnhem Land Yidaki style(2008)Yolngu people of Northeast Arnhem Land, Australia, call the didgeridoo yidaki. Their ngänarr-däl, or hard tongue, style has been called the hardest didge playing to learn.On this CD, ceremonial and original Yothu Yindi player Milkayngu Mununggurr distills yidaki playing to the basics. Spoken and detailed written instructions & diagrams accompany the exercises. The instructions included in the CD are in English, but we are developing translations on our website. Rhythms are recorded at various speeds, with both the sound of the yidaki and the breathing audible.This is the first recording of a Yolngu player explaining the fundamental techniques clearly in terms we can all understand. With it you will be able to understand and learn from other recordings much easier. This CD is produced by this art centre, with an unprecedented amount of the proceeds going to the artist, and the rest towards maintenance of this Yolngu-owned business.If you play didgeridoo and have struggled to learn the Yolngu yidaki playing style, this is the primer you need. If you want to learn from Yolngu and buy a didjeridu CD that supports them directly, this is the one.Total size : 47 MB (49 379 868 bytes)Duration : 34:11.291 Sample rate : 44100 HzBitrate : 192 kbpsCodec profile : MP3 CBREncoding : lossyTracklist:1 Introduction 2 witj-dju intro 3 Witj-DJu Slow 4 Witj-DJu Medium 5 Witj-DJu Fast 6 dith-dhu intro 7 Dith-Dhu Slow 8 Dith-Dhu Medium 9 Dith-Dhu Fast 10 dith-dhu really fast 11 dhirrl intro 12 Dhirrl Slow 13 Dhirrl Medium 14 Dhirrl Fast 15 Dhirrl Faster 16 dhirrl really freakin’ fast 17 dhirrl-lo intro 18 Dhirrl-Lo Slow 19 Dhirrl-Lo Medium 20 Dhirrl-Lo Fast 21 dhirrl-lo really fast 22 dith-dhu dhirrl intro 23 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Slow 24 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Medium 25 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Fast 26 dith-dhu dhirrl dhirrl intro 27 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Dhirrl Medium 28 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Dhirrl Fast 29 dup intro 30 Dup Slow 31 Dup Medium 32 Dup Fast 33 dup dhirrl intro 34 Dup Dhirrl Slow 35 dup dhirrl fast 36 dup-pu dhirrl dhirrl intro 37 Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dhirrl Medium 38 Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dhirrl Fast 39 dup-pu dhirrl dup-pu dup-pu dhirrl dhirrl intro 40 Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dup-Pu Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dhirrl Medium 41 Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dup-Pu Dup-Pu Dhirrl Dhirrl Fast 42 Voice Discussion 1 43 Voice Discussion 2 44 Conclusion 45 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Dhirrl Improv 1 46 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Dhirrl Improv 2 47 Dith-Dhu Dhirrl Dhirrl Improv 3
