Future Loops is proud to release ‘Essential Didgeridoo’, an exciting and resonant sample library that features over 600 authentic Didgeridoo and Didgeribone loops. The loops are available in WAV format. The Didgeridoo (also known as Didge) is a beautiful wind instrument developed by the Indigenous Australian people more than 1.000 years ago. This ancient instrument has been widespread both through Australia and the rest of the world due to its very peculiar acoustics and unique resonance.
Perhaps one of the oldest musical instruments from the wind family the Didgeridoo has a deep tribal essence and guttural presence that is capable of evoking the most primal of instincts. Its fascinating sound has been said to emanate a strong spiritual power and it is a central part of Aboriginal ceremonies.
‘Essential Didgeridoo’ includes hundreds of loops performed by the legendary Charlie McMahon who is regarded as one of the most prolific Didgeridoo players in the world and he is also the inventor of the Didgeribone – a mix between a trombone and a didgeridoo. Unlike traditional Didgeridoos the Didgeribone allows the pitch to be varied mid-song opening new groove & melodic possibilities.
Charlie started playing Didgeridoo when he was just a child and throughout the years has established his very own signature style of playing successfully introducing the Didgeridoo into contemporary, world, fusion, mainstream or electronic music.
‘Essential Didgeridoo’ features an extraordinary variety and amount of Didgeridoo and Didgeribone loops. To ensure an optimal range of texture, sonic personality and keys 6 different Didgeridoos and 1 Didgeribone were used to record this one of a kind sample pack.
The different instruments used are absolutely breathtaking and each has a distinct character and singular acoustic qualities as well as unique root Key.
The recordings are clean and pristine and the loops were divided into 5 Tempos (70, 90, 110, 130 and 150 BPM), so you can have the little nuances that result from playing the Didgeridoo in slower or faster tempos. The wide range of Tempos will also allow you to easily suit the loops to different genres making it a perfect fit for modern and electronic music styles such as Trance, Techno, Chillout, Drum N Bass, Dubstep or Ambient among others.
Due to its tribal quality ‘Essential Didgeridoo’ can also be a great weapon in your arsenal if you are producing cinematic scores and wish to convey strong primal emotions.
