Contributor Guy Lancaster explores learning to play, and learning to make, didgeridoos with bamboo harvested on family land. "Playing a didgeridoo is, for me, very much a form of meditation—in large part, because it is necessary to master the art of circular breathing to make any real progress with the instrument. Circular breathing involves storing air in your cheeks and blowing that out, using only your facial muscles, while you simultaneously breathe in through your nose. This is not the most natural activity in the world and has to be practiced, but once you know how to do it, playing the instrument is more than just making noise. It becomes a constant interplay of breath in, breath out; of timing; of body joined to sound." boileddownjuice/?p=5436
