I often tell my students that I don't teach (only) technics but I try to convey an experience. The fundamental difference and uniqueness of the proposed course can be summarized in these few words. I firmly believe that music should be the means by which to become interpreters of themselves. The cornerstone of teaching is represented by the basics and the principles. The basics are the reference of thought, meaning we attribute to man first of all, with its centrality to his emotions and what he looks through the instrument and music: his research. One is not summarized in these few lines. The principles are four: attention focused on himself, correct relationship with the body, the breath and the rhythm.
To develop these themes I have set up a package of 5 intensive, renewable 1 hour lessons for both beginners and advanced. Since it is not aimed strictly at efficiency, nor exclusively at the virtuosic mastery of one or more techniques, but rather at the deepening of a complete psycho/physical and musical experience, I suggest my students renew the course or continue to follow it with individual lessons also when a cycle is finished.

This is not exactly a tutorial, I don't explain specific techniques, i realized this video for different reasons:
1) To show how the didjeridoo, a musical instrument which is wrongly considered as a monotonal instrument, can fully express as much as any other instrument according to the principles of harmony, melody and rhythm;
2) To show how, apart from the various drone transcendence techniques (such as staccato, air-code etc...), it is possible to obtain both harmonic and melodic variations;
3) To translate the various techniques used with the didjeridoo in the classical music language, in order to make clear what we are playing in comparison to any other musical instrument.
I'd also like to debunk some clichés and wrong conclusions, which are often and improperly used by didjeridoo players, one of which is that the toots are higher overtones...

Vortex Klub is technoshamanmusak and as far as we know, it was the first organic tekno music band in Italy. A project born to make you dance and drag you down into the vortex with sonorities ranging from acid techno, electro music, to organic techno music and over. Vortex Klub was born from a collaboration between three musicians from bologna underground scene. Machno:electric drum, Djan’Nì: didjeridoo, Peter enkson:machines. Far away from determined shape, they are purposing a total improvisation.
“The tekno-rebel song is playing for the teknovortex-club mutants, storming for another night of the metropolitan apocalypse, around the dance floor number 13. The tekno-rebel song is resonating in the 6th level suburb corners…is shot out from the gangs’ ghetto-blasters, waiting for some astray daddy’s boy. The tekno-rebel song is the soundtrack of each cyberpunk stronghold… the ideal accompaniment for cyberspace surfing. The tekno-rebel song is the hyper-lisergic tripping dreamers hymn…now ready to send enlightened messages to tomorrow’s humanities!!!(The tekno vortex…It’s the tekno class-war baby…I wanna a city riot now…It’s the tekno-shaman-muzak babe)”

The didjeridoo, jew’s harp and percussions bandYin2Yang, founded by Lorenzo De Boni e Gianni Placido, was born as a busking project . The first period of street music allowed the duo to create a personal and original music language (composed by a huge part of improvisation) and to have an immediate feedback by the audience and to study people reaction to such a fancy music-project.
Thanks to this positive experience and to the enthusiastic and peculiar feedbacks from the manifold audience of Bologna city, the duo decided to create a studio work, that could give an original idea of live show, combined with all the studio processing shades. Entirely live recorded and unedited, except from some voices and an overdubbing in the last track, Dialogues on the cosmic Highway, produced by Fabio Furnari’s Terresommerse (Rome), is a didjeridoo, jew’s harp, bilma, Tibetan bowls and futujara cd, enriched in three tracks with Lorenzo Niego’s percussions(cajon and darbuka). Dialogues on the cosmic Highway, i san eight track cd, eight steps of a joyful, euphoric, powerful, hypnotic, dreamful, dynamic, dancing and profound trip!
Today, Yin2Yang live-show, both electric or unplugged, is a sixty minutes trio live-show, with Mario Francavilla playing cajon, djembè and other traditional percussions.
Yin2Yang produced two professional video-clips:
Interstellar overdrive, directed by Giovanni Aloi and Crossroad Roots, directed by Claudio Ancora, plus two other live videos.
200 pages richly illustrated including poetry, art, non-fiction, self-help exercises, tarot, metagenealogy, psychomagic and archetypal mindfulness.
