Over the last 20 years an ever expanding global movement has sprung up focused on one of the worlds most ancient instruments, the Didgeridoo, until recently almost exclusively the ceremonial instrument of Aboriginal tribes in Northern Australia, who believe they've played it since the dawn of time. The Didgeridoo Summit is a musical tete a tete between two native europeans, Stephen Kent [Britain, Bay Area] and Ondrej Smeykal [Czech Republic] who are arguably the two most innovative contemporary artists to have brought the Didjeridu [Didgeridoo/Didge/Didj] to the attention of the wider world, outside its traditional role in Australian Aboriginal culture.
These two extraordinary and ground breaking performers have each evolved their own unique and distinct languages with the Didge, in the process redefining the range and depth of the instrument's possibilities and bringing it to a place of new significance in a global musical context - Kent with his musical sensibility and enormous background of experience in seamlessly bringing the Didge to bear in a myriad of world music cultures and now Smeykal, who has astonished everybody with his revolutionary fractal techniques and overdrive rhythms. Both players view their music on this fascinating instrument as "Orchestral" in its dimensions. This is the first time they have shared the stage together and it promises to be a HUMDINGER of an experience!
