"Without any musical background or ambition Dubravko started playing the didgeridoo many years ago and just didn't stop. Not for his carrier, not for his friends, not for his girlfriend, not even for food some days. His passion grew and his style became distinctly personal and magical. The desire to explore the potential sound of this most basic of instruments led him to stretch and distort the basic natural design into a multitude of shapes and dimensions (reaching a length of 10m and frequency of 20Hz) resulting in his own unique sound and performance for the New Earth."

Basics of Parallel Playing :

The core of my playing - it is about playing simultaneously more sounds, rhythms, melodies... Making the illusion of an orchestra. BIG topics. LEVEL 1 - Basics of parallel playing This workshop explains the principle of parallel playing. Dealing with three most prominent characters of parallel playing- drone, toot and voice. Two main ways of breathing and making sounds are established and further developed into 10 systematic exercises. These exercises have a dimension of depth, and can be practiced in a long period of time. They help player obtain basic skills of parallel playing in a broad area. Some of those exercises are easy, and some are not so easy, even though they all fall into category "basic".

Singing :

Very important aspect of my playing, for me it's making "real" songs- I do not talk here about composing melodies, I just talk about how to sing, how to sing through tube, how to sing to the rhythm, how to sing real and recognizable melodies -this can be either small or very big topic, but there is practice with melodica or piano, and lots of fun! LEVEL 1 - includes basic singing to drone, not to be underestimated, and singing to simple rhythms

Open Class :

30 mins max. This is all about you ever wondered about didgeridoo, and you think I might know the answer. Open questions, I have no preparation for this, I just bring myself.
