Douglas, you hadnāt told us about this artistic side of yours yet. Thanks for sharing your site, your watercolors are magnificent, I especially love your photographic creations, well done!
Thank you so much Christophe, Iām really pleased that you looked at my works. Tomorrow evening I have an opening here in Fribourg for my new collection Ā« Cāest lāeau qui peint Ā» and Iām going to play the didge with a mate who plays the Shakuhashi (the Japanese flute). I hope we can convey the magic of the two instruments.

Your watercolors accompanied by music from the Didgeridoo and Shakuhachi will definitely create a beautiful sensory experience to immerse yourself in. 
Are you thinking of having someone make a video that moves between your works and the music of your two instruments?

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for your welcome message. I wouldnāt say Iām an artist, more of a craftsperson ;-). Thanks for the compliment. I checked out your site, and I really like it when itās Ā« the water speaking Ā», kind of like zen in art where itās no longer the artist creating, but simply transcribing whatās happening in and around them.
Iām just starting out with the didgeridoo, and your videos are inspiring, thanks for sharing them.
Feel free to post concert info and events related to this instrument on this site, that way I have a chance of finding out about them!

Hey beautiful community!
Iām Guillaume (aka GuiOmĢ), Iām a Belgian-Canadian and Iām living in Sherbrooke, QC right now (since 2010).
I started the didge in March 2021ā¦ so itās very recent. But I play it a lot and every day, so my learning curve is really fast. Iām now playing at several festivals and other conscious events all around Quebecā¦ and the didges are starting to pile up at my place haha!
For me, the didgeridoo is above all a meditative tool; it takes me into altered states of consciousness and thatās also what I transmit to my audience through my vibrational concerts. A return to the present momentā¦ and a reconnection to the heart
Thanks for being here, it feels good to feel at home!

Belgians and Canadians have something in common, fries (in poutine for Canada). Thatās already a good starting point. 
Less than 2 years of Didgeridoo, youāre doing great and you can already play live, ba ba bahā¦ 
Me too, when I play meditative stuff I enter an altered state of consciousness where I leave everyday reality behind. 
This ability of the Didgeridoo to transport us to another space-time, an alternative present, is really interesting and does you good.

Thanks to you both, that really touches me! And yeah, for the learning curve I reckon itās really motivation/passion and hours played that trump years of experience. In less than 2 years I think Iāve breathed close to 2000h into my precious ones 
. When you love something, you donāt keep count 
And yep, 100% on the didgeās ability to transport us. The meditative side of the instrument is what touches me the most (way beyond the musicality). But Iām getting more and more interested in rhythmic patterns too, just for the Ā« fun Ā» of it.

Hello
My name is ROBERT Philippe, retired from a magnificent profession. Iāve been playing djembĆ© and African drums for 8 years. In January I bought myself a didgeridoo and I ordered GAUTIERās method and Iām set to learn how to blow it.
Iām in Sarthe.

Hey there! 
Iāve been playing for about 15 years or so, I think. A bit on and off, to be honest; long stretches without touching it, then intensive periods. For the last 2-3 years my playing has been getting more consistent, and Iāve noticed that didge really contributes a lot to my personal balance.
I discovered the didge on the street in Toulouse with a passing player. Completely shocked and fascinated by the instrument and its sounds, he was cool with letting me try blowing into it. After a few minutesā¦ Boom! Pow! I got the lip buzz going
Iād rather introduce myself with a didge, so Iām off now to start a little thread ^^
Cheers, looking forward to bumping into you later - whether live or on the forum
