Part of the Didge camp 2023 will be also "Open Didge Camp" - one day for public. Everybody who will come on Wednesday afternoon has a rare chance of visit Pilnaj´s craft-workshops in beautiful Merboltice village placed in national park Central Highlands, so everybody can see how the music instruments are made, and try one part of process with hand tool. Around 6 pm the concert of participants will start, and also anyone who is playing didgeridoo can be part of the concert! Everybody is welcomed to come for the concert. This event is supported by Active Citizens Fund and it is for free.

The main focus of the workshop is making the breathing-in in total relaxation  and the unlimited potential that it will bring.

So playing Didgeridoo will leave you with more energy for things that do take more energy (like trumpets and voice for instance). This will permit you t  play quicker; additionally it will not break your rhythms due to the inhalation.

The frst day of the workshop we will additionally focus on using the voice, connecting with the high voice and projecting it out of the Didgeridoo. W  will also look at three unique methods of playing the Trumpet-sounds  putting voice on the Trumpet-sound, putting voice on the Trumpet-soun  and making circular breathing on the Trumpet-sound.

This workshop is made for any level of Didgeridoo player.

We will start to look at essential things, like lips, tongue, cheeks, jaw and  diaphragm (and with this we will work on voice and projecting it). It i  important to have some level of perfection and awareness, so we can proceed to the advanced techniques. In this workshop, we will learn to use these basic techniques completel  separate from one and the other. It sounds simple, however you will discover, it's anything but! Furthermore, the multi-drone/drop-octave will also have a focus point in this workshop.

We will practice belly-breathing, jaw-breathing, tongue- and cheek-breathing, with the most important focus of doing it in relaxation!!! We then, can work on the 4-part wobble, this is why we need to tackle isolations and breathing, in complete relaxation.

The last part, we will work on non-dronal sounds, like human beat-box and air-drum.

So if you are into perfecting and precision and speed and endless possibilities, this is your workshop.
