From Digital Aboriginal by Mikela Tarlow:
An aboriginal nomad traveling through the Australian desert carries little
on his back. Yet when he arrives at the next water hole, he finds his
favourite musical instrument, the didgeridoo, hanging from a thin reed,
dangling in the water, safely protected from the dry climate.
He plays to his heart's content and then moves on, leaving it for the next
person. This beautiful reed instrument with the low haunting sound belongs
to no one, yet encompasses the spirit of everyone who passes by. The context
for participation is the art form as much as the music itself.
