Si is a powerful didgeridoo teacher. He has a unique ability to gift players with an experience
that they will not forget. Si teaches breathing rhythms that are hypnotic, invigorating and
sound epic. His simple, powerful and intelligent method has set hundreds of players free to
further their own unique style backed by the power of the breath. Playing with feeling,
integrity and purpose creates good music that helps the world be a better place. Harnessing
the power of the breath creates more energy in the player and a greater potency in the
fundamental resonance of the didgeridoo.
As a young man Si quit medical school to dedicate his life to playing didgeridoo. He learnt to
play alone in the Outback as he hitchhiked 15000km around Australia. From these humble
origins he has gone on to tour the world many times with his band Wild Marmalade. He has
sold out three events at the prestigious Sydney Opera House. He is currently based in Fremantle Australia

IL FONDAMENTALISTA

… l’episodio di oggi:

“Le 2 leggi”

Quando si sforzano di espandere il proprio repertorio, molti giocatori si scontrano ripetutamente con limiti che non sembrano essere superabili. Gran parte di questi ostacoli possono essere ricondotti a due soli principi che sono stati trascurati più volte - spesso inconsapevolmente - a volte all’inizio, a volte in una fase avanzata. Ecco perché questo workshop è adatto sia a quelli che quasi non sono più principianti  sia a quelli che sono già molto avanzati. 

 

Esploreremo questi due principi in modo approfondito e troveremo la loro rilevanza per il nostro modo di suonare e fonderemo tecniche di base provenienti sia dal mondo moderno che da quello tradizionale, pur non ignorandone i fondamenti.

Come sempre, faremo piccole deviazioni: Per esempio, nella vastità dell’articolazione, come comunicarla (e annotarla); nel regno delle strutture ritmiche veloci e della respirazione; nel mondo degli “armonici” (e perché vengono messi tra virgolette) - e nel mondo della lentezza, che può renderci consapevoli di tanti suoni. Ci si può anche addentrare in aree densamente boscose come il contrasto e la dinamica, il cambio ritmico, la struttura della song … e lungo il percorso si può tentare di penetrare ancora una volta nella selva dei “wobbles“!

In definitiva, tutto questo serve a un unico obiettivo: rendere il didgeridoo udibile come strumento “principale” chiaramente percepibile in un contesto musicale.

Con gli ultimi approfondimenti tratti da alcuni corsi online degli ultimi anni 

… e - come sempre – comprensibile e con molto umorismo!

… e anche se leggete questo articolo in italiano, la lingua del workshop sarà, purtroppo, in inglese.

Qui di segioto potete invece trovare sessioni non inerenti ad imparare il didgeridoo ma aa sperimentare il didgeridoo come strumento di rilassamento. Non si suona il didgeridoo.

Didgeridoo Pranayama is a breath technique that Si Mullumby has developed to engage the therapeutic and spiritual properties of playing didgeridoo. Si has now separated the method as a distinct and stand-alone pranayama breathing practice that can be taught to anyone. This is not a ‘learn to play’ didgeridoo workshop.

The essence of the method is a short sharp inhale and a longer relaxed exhale integrated into a rhythmic cycle. Participants breath together in the group, all in the same pattern at the same time, lead by master player Si playing didgeridoo, setting the tempo and intensity of the practice. The practice engages and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system leading to increased energy, clarity and calmness.

About Si Mullumby
Si Mullumby was inspired to play didgeridoo after a mystical experience on a beach called Aum beach in India in 1992. Si realised that the core elements of the Indian spiritual system, that he had been practicing since his teenage years, were all intrinsic to the playing of Australia’s traditional instrument, the Yidaki, commonly known as the didgeridoo. In his moment of epiphany he realised a complete system for playing didgeridoo that combined meditation on the Aum, pranayama, Indian musicality, and the ability to express any feeling or emotion with the voice through this hollow tree. And it was from his home country Australia.

This system he now calls Didgeridoo Pranayama.
After returning to Australia in early 1993 Si cleared his old life, and started a new one, didgeridoo in hand. He withdrew from studying Medicine at the prestigious University of Western Australia where he was in the third year of his studies, and dedicated his life whole heartedly to playing didgeridoo. Si learnt to play as he hitchhiked 20 000km throughout the Australian wilderness. Much like a southern hemisphere ‘Into the Wild’ he spent long periods of time in the bush alone, practicing his breath method.

Aside from his career spanning more than twenty years, touring globally with the world’s original didgeridoo and drum band Wild Marmalade, Si has followed a parallel path pursuing his interest in chi gung, yoga and Indian spirituality. He works regularly alongside some of the world’s great modern yogis and yoginis. Si has worked with Elena Brower, Cameron Shayne, Simon Borg-Olivia, Shiva Rei and Clive Sheridan to name a few. He is a feature artist in Yoga events around the world.

Si is the founding member of Dream Drone, Australia’s leading sound journey project. He mentors young upcoming Indigenous Australian Artists. Si’s career hi-lights include working for Cirque du Soleil in Montreal and Las Vegas in 2004, performing three times at the Sydney Opera House and featuring on the discovery channel documentary Yidaki.
