The Bridge: Yidaki Symphony – Daniel Bowden

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the yidaki (didgeridoo) had a sonic duel with the soundscape of the city at 131 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature?

Hit PLAY to find out!!

‘Yidaki’ is the traditional name for the didgeridoo. It has a unique sound quality that becomes amplified when played in the ‘sweet-spot’ under the arch of the Morell Bridge. Kent Morris, who is playing the yidaki in this production, is a Songwriter, Producer, Musician and Indigenous Arts Officer for Community Prisons at The Torch in Victoria. Kent is also a proud descendent of the Barkindji people of the Darling River in New South Wales and here in this piece, we are able to understand the Morell space, not only in an aural context but in a cultural and spiritual one too.
