Xavier Rudd-Lioness Eye

[@Astr0lily]

I remember 2005 sitting in the hot sun of Wakarusa and suddenly hearing the most beautiful music coming from the sun up stage! My friends and I rushed over to see Xavier alone on the stage creating music I had never heard a whole band create. Been a huge fan ever since.

[@Keljleonard]

[@ivorotley3736]

This man is an Earth warrior (one who cares). To the international people who view the man in this clip, this gifted man, Xavier Rudd, writes his own music and is seen here producing a continual sound thru an Australian aboriginal didgeridoo which requires a difficult technique called circular breathing to produce the non-stop sound. To perform this way he has to be superbly fit. A normal deep breath intake cannot be taken when playing the didgeridoo. Circular breathing is akin to filling, “your mouth with water and pushing it out in a stream using your tongue and cheek muscles. Next, breathe in and out through your nose while making the stream. Repeat step four but, before your lungs empty, fill your cheeks and mouth with air and inhale quickly and deeply through your nose.” Of course in this clip there is no water but the method applies the same principal using only air. Try doing this with two didgeridoos and playing drums at the same time. In the background one can hear a bird call, it is that of an Australian Kookaburra, a member of the Jackass family. Xavier Rudd has written many songs and is not that widely known but, he writes great music with a great message. Listen to all of his songs as he is a friend of the planet.

[@absolutemadmanproductions8306]

He is pretty widely known my friend.

[@ivorotley3736]

Thx Pax, I did not quite explain the "fitness" required properly. I was referring to the whole physical performance including the drumming and singing.

[@truuswoortman9400]

don"t wrry a.bouy me

[@stormytrails]

What fun! Ivor, this recipe for circular breathing is perfectly written. This is daunting to learn. Regular breathing is a lost skill! Most people; I'd guess 9 out of 10 'civilized urbanites' use only 1/3 of their lung capacity, called shallow or thoracic breathing. I'm sure you know this already. They've forgotten how to belly breathe. We all started out breathing correctly, then mum came along to dress us in pants and belts. Just relearning belly breathing and using our entire lung package will increase our energy and endurance by half if not twice. I fell in love with the didgeridoo watching Xavier play this song, the Lioness Eye. Can't get enough of this type of music...talk about ENERGIZING!

In the spring of 2015, I was in Milwaukee for a work conference. The meetings were at the stadium where the “Bucks” play and the conference hotel was less than a mile away. Some folks were waiting for the shuttle bus back to the hotel… when I decided to walk. Suddenly maybe five minutes into the walk, it started pouring rain like a shower… I sprinted for coverage into an old gymnasium type of building, there seemed to be folks coming and going from the building. I found a side door open. Due to the fact I was wearing a Sport Coat, no one questioned my presence or purpose… as it turned out it was an Xavier Rudd concert (general admission) in a smaller venue. Unfamiliar with him or his band I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick around. His second or third song was “Lioness Eye”. After witnessing his musical genius, I was hooked! I have been a fan since! Amazing!

He is completely dedicating himself just to entertain people. If anyone notices him closely then find that harder he blows the horn more energetic he gets so the conclusion is here the more you devote yourself to something more energy you get to take that forward.

[@dondavey4959]

This guy is GOOD. This instrument is unique. This is one of the best entertainment performances I've seen. ~ It is also capable of healing. The vibrations when played over your body , have an insanely soothing effect. The artist/healer I met had apx. 12 or so Didgeridoo that all had different tones. Lining them up with the Main energy paths through the body , each having it's coinciding note, did something that's hard to describe. All's I know is I felt 100x better after 20 to 30 mins. ( saw one for sale at guitar center the other day. Used to be a guy that played up in the Haight for change. He did good $ wise. Pretty hypnotic too.) Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
