"There is no other sound which evokes so many images from the primeval days of mankind. The mood is wild, voluptuous, vital, powerful, mighty and archaic and occasionaly even rough and brutish. It refers to nature and the links with the earth, deeper instincts, sexuality and physical feelings, self-esteem and aggression, but also to the joy of life and vitality."

The short, readable, and complete Didgeridoo : Ritual Origins and Playing Techniques by Dirk Schellberg tells how to play, buy, and make a didgeridoo. Short sections on its role in the Dreamtime, contemporary Australian rock music, the aboriginal origins of the didgeridou and its contemporary aboriginal context, its use as a therapeutic instrument, and how to acheive "the infinite sound" through continuous circular breathing make this book a definite keeper.
