The Healing in "C"
above is played with Ironwoobob's "Bobaradoo."
The
pitch is set to
E flat and a drone is played down to a C at the same time. At the
beginning of this piece, I only sing and
blow through the Bobaradoo. Then at 40 seconds I
only bluzz a C drone. Then I at 60 seconds
I added the Casio keyboard "chorus-2" sound at a
C pitch. Then I play a simple drone wthout
any dubbing. One half way through the
piece I begin fluctuating between a D, E flat
and C drone. The vibrations between these
waves create theta and alpha binaural waves that
humans can't hear but entrainment of the waves
may calm the brain and allow a relaxed body to
heal. I added a little reverb and
equalization in editing. Now the mind,body
and spirit is ready to heal.The Bobaradoo was
amplified by a inexpensive microphone made for
an acoustic guitar and was hooked up to an
inexpensive Digtech multi-effect guitar
processor. I play this improvisational
piece using only one finger on my left hand on
the keyboard and my right foot on the wah wah
and sustain pedal.

The "Bobaradoo" is a unique
didgeridoo-like instrument. It is the first that is specifically
designed for anyone allowing for the diversity your own personal
attributes. Beginners can learn to circular breath quickly and
with ease. Players can experiment with blowing, buzzing, breathing
and singing through different mouthpieces and connectors playing
different pitches while learning new techniques that can be transferred
to other instruments as well as other modalities like meditation,
healing, percussion accompaniment, singing and breathing exercises.
The Bobaradoo is highly responsive to
sound waves with excellent back pressure because of its narrow blow
hole, smooth surface, curved horn and dense material. Less breath
is needed to hold those soft meditative drones as the player appreciates
the many different sounds of this didgeridoo-like instrument. The
Bobaradoo almost plays itself while not sacrificing the deep harmonic
overtones. This tunable instrument slides two cylinders
together producing a drone at the desired pitch anywhere between a low A
(the third A below middle C) and a higher G (7 notes higher). A toot has
a range an octave to a 9th above the drone range. The range of
the pitches may vary slightly depending on elevation and other
environmental factors as sound waves are affected. The Babaradoo
is not meant to slide like a trombone or a slide whistle, but is meant
to be adjusted for one pitches, although is it can slide to many
different pitches quickly if needed
The Bobaradoo is a sleek satin black didgeridoo with 2 coats of dye and
2 coats of paint, that telescopes to cylinders from 38.5” to 72” and up
to 90” with the extension. The outside diameter is 1.4” to a
medium size bell that is approximately 3.5” diameter.

hanging, a 45
