A hot desert night. A bonfire blazes, didgeridoos drone, and masked revelers dance to tribal drums. Mystical melodies summon ancient memories, and chilled-out beats seduce us into a world both sacred and profane. Come to the fire. In “Bonfire Dreamingâ€, Jay incorporates the mysterious rhythms of the didgeridoo with the musical traditions of many cultures; fusing them with his own, unique style of sensual electronica. Known by many different names, the didgeridoo is an ancient Australian woodwind instrument – quite possibly the earliest wind instrument known in any culture. Traditionally made from a log that has been hollowed by termites, it has no finger holes or valves. It is simply a long, open tube. The many complex sounds are created using various tonguing, breathing, and vocalizing techniques, allowing for a fascinating range of rhythms and effects. It is most often played using a technique called “circular breathing†– which allows the musician to play continually, with no apparent breaks in the sound. With great respect for the indigenous peoples of Australia, Jay plays the didgeridoo in a modern, Western style. Check out the artist's website: http://www.jayatwood.com Track List: 1.
