Didgeridoo
is good for you!
The Höhenklinik in Zurich has demonstrated its courage for innovative and creative treatment methods: breathless patients at night - in practice respiratory failure at night - have been prescribed wind music.
Not to listen, but to play. Unusual therapy prescribes the patient to play the didgeridoo, an Australian wind instrument, every day for twenty minutes. The music of the aborigines helps them to have a much quieter sleep. During the day they feel more rested and awake. The Australian didgeridoo helps patients who suffer from apnea to have more peaceful sleep. Source: British Medical Journal |
Soundmassage with didgeridoo
Soundmassage is an effective method for deep relaxation and healing, using the voice, touch and the sound of the didgeridoo on the body.
The vibrations of the didgeridoo gently massage the tissues of the body, helping to dissolve physical and emotional tensions. A personal harmonic song has surprisingly soothing and clearing effects on the energy body. Read more about Soundmassage with Igor |

A Giant Didgeridoo
'Uroboros' is a sound sculpture project created by Igor Ezendam between 1988 and 1993 at the Royal Art Academy of the Hague, Holland.
"One day, playing didgeridoo inside a big empty metal filing cabinet, hearing everything around me vibrate, I decided I wanted to create an instrument where i could be INSIDE THE SOUND. Since then this Giant Didgeridoo has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam and the Académie des Beaux Arts in Paris and at concerts in Holland and France.
