The Didgeridrone
A drone created from a looped eucalyptus didgeridoo and ran through an amp.

The story
This was recorded from a real Eucalyptus Didgeridoo (hollowed out by termites) from Aulstralia. I recorded a few long tracks ( I can’t circular breath well so I looped it! Haha) I re-amped through an old fender amp, with a Memory Man. I ran it through some filters, reversed one for the swells, and tweaked more in Reaktor. I Specifically wanted this to be a drone, so its not the best for polyphonic usage, though who says you can’t ! It has a bit of earthiness that I like in my sounds , especially down low.
Reviews
Ghostly and a bit scary! But nice!
I never knew of this instrument. The sound is a little scary, ghostly kind of tone. Very interesting and original!
Horror and fantasy combined!
This little patch is both full of horror feels and fantasy magic. I've never even heard of a Didgeridoo, but I absolutely love this. It is very well sampled but unfortunately there are no controls at all, except for a wallpaper that reminded me of a circus, and more specifically killer clowns...
Organic and breathy
Although this isn't one of my favorites from joshua i still like it alot. Its very organic and breathy sounding but also a bit synthy too. It kind of blurs the lines between a sci fi pad and a woodwinds patch. Its a really nice drone sounding really deep and characterful in the low end however its not too present down there which is good. The high end offers a more breathy tone and the whole thing has a slightly pulsating vibe going on which adds to the realism and woodwind quality. This is pretty great
