Revellie's not quite as easy, Don, but good fingering practice.<br><br>Where am I goin'? No place in particular, just far enough to practice harmonizing with...
>>Tried making a mix of didge/drum/NAF yesterday myself. The problem was, I mixed three sound samples of didge with a drum and NAF and the sound volume ...
I'm slamming head on into middle age if I haven't passed it yet. I've got allergies (getting better though i may be stone dead in a moment, no thanks to monty ...
Well your letter gave me some hope. I tried this circular breathing stuff and my brain said"Make up your mind, do you want to breathe in or breathe out, can't ...
My biggest fear in circular breathing would be sucking in a nose full of air and blowing snot into the SAC and clogging it up! (Opps, sorry if that grossed ...
Fresh clip in My Briefcase (under My Documents). This time I opened a new file and mixed a couple of the ones I already had. The result: didgenafdrummix.wav....
My concern too. Welcome to the club, lol. I admit, my initial attempts at didge playing bore striking resemblances to the men's room at Taco Bell (name your...
I was listening to a Mary Youngblood cd the other night and noticed that she puposely left audible breathing breaks in the songs. I think that in the context ...
>left audible breathing breaks in the songs<br><br>stopping, for anyreason, for a short period of time is a valid musical device.<br><br>A mistake I made...

Hey friend, thanks for sharing the inspiration with us. This is exactly how I want to be once I get started making flutes on a regular basis. I am just ...

Just thought I'd report back to those of you who, like me, have held off on using polyurethane glues because (a) they sound like too much trouble, (b) what's ...
Dan what I was referring to was the actual audible gasp or gulp for air. This was not a planned 1/4,1/2 or whole or series of rest beats as you see in many...
