26 2007 - Change your bookmark ...
26/09/2007 - A while ago, I started my DJ Ridoo project to combine the
wonderful sound
of didgeridoo with all sorts off different musical styles.
During these years, I've met a lot of interesting people, played some
great sets with
the didgeridoo (in harmony with techno, minimal, ambient, world music,
...), and even
featured on a CD project in Chili.
From all of these contacts, a lot of new projects developed but more
and more involving
me as a musician, rather than a didgeridoo-player.
That's why I've chosen to do combine these projects as Steve Robbert,
rather then have a
separate didgeridoo project running.
So in the very near future, you will be able to track my new projects
and music on the new website
www.steverobbert.com
Thanks for all the support and the cool projects,
and see you on the other side...
Steve Robbert
july
31st 2007 - site update
Updated the site here and there.
I bought a
Launeddas not so long ago, but I haven't had the chance to play/practice
on it yet. I also bought a
practice chanter to go along with the Launeddas.
Update on this later...
june
27 2007 - nothing to report, sir...
Hello
*wave*, to all of my five readers.
Things have been a bit quiet on the didgeridoo front, except for some
relaxationconcerts here and there. This is mostly because i'm fully
concentracting on Mashta Uïrtu. Last studio sessions are going
on and CD pressing will start soon.
I AM busy preparing for a new double didge-workshop though. This will
be a workshop on saturday and another on sunday, one in Aalst and one
in Stekene. more later...

17 2007 - Exhibition Eco Therapeutica
The
past didgejam was very very great. Thanks to Pieter for providing a
great presentation of his visit to Australia ! After my 3 days knock-out
due to carnaval in my home city (renowned for it), I'll be planning
a follow-up didgejam, so he can continue his presentation *snicker*
Next
big event is the Eco Therapeutica in Brabanthal - Leuven. Last year
this exhibition was really great and Sekwasa has been asked again to
provide some dreamtimeconcerts and animation. Check here
for all the info (dutch) and here

15 2006 - it's all so quiet
Didging
has been so slow that I'm starting to have troubles playing at the relaxationconcerts.
Imagine that O.õ Time to no longer say I don't have the time
for it, but 'make' time for it. So there is my newyears resolution...
more didging (i hope...).
This Christmas, after 3 years of work work work, I'll be going on a
holiday .. I can't describe how much I need this.
Merry Christmas and a happy newyear, everyone.

14 2006 - On Sale : World Didgeridoo Vibes - Vol 1.
I'm
now taking orders for the World Didgeridoo Vibes - Volume 1 CD.

october
17 2006 - workshops
I'm
thinking about picking up on giving some workshops again and planning
some dates.
october
3 2006 - World Didgeridoo Vibes - Vol 1.
The
CD of the Pitt project has arrived : World Didgeridoo Vibes - Vol 1.
Sadly,
but understandable, only one song of mine has been chosen to be on the
CD. I think the response to the CD-project was more than they had hoped
for and probably had to make a tight selection in the songs.
I'll keep you up to date when I have the CD available for order (soon).
Find a teaser of the CD song and the complete unselected song in the
media section.

29 2006 - didgejam *cancelled*
I'm
organizing a didgejam on the 10th of september. Check here
for more info.*cancelled*
Songs
for the pitt project are coming along nicely. One song is finished and
I need one more recording for the second one. I'm not sure I'll be able
make a third one, but I'll try. Sneak previews of the songs will be
posted in the media section soon.
august
25 2006 - didgavaganza
If
you haven't heard it already (in belgium) - and I really really think
you have - there's a BIG didgemeeting in Lanaken. For a TV-show, the
citizens of Lanaken have 1 week to turn their city into Australia, with
for example a big aussie bbq and they must have 300 didge-players there.
Three-hundred !! That is going to be so awesome ! (At first I wasn't
able to go, but it seems I'm getting to go after all !)
Recordings
for the pitt project went a bit awkward, but the songs are coming along
nicely. Deadline is august 31st though, so I'll have to hurry :)
june
26 2006 - Forum and then some
Le
Newvoh Forum at arrived :) You can now all spew your thought, remarks,
suggestions, ideas, kudos, synonyms, projects, theories on it...
You can find it through the link to your right.
In other news : Spastic Plastique (aka Pitt) [http://www.myspace.com/yooralla]
made contact with me for a nonprofit recording-project with a bunch
of other didgeridoo musicians. Of course I hopped on the wagon. I'll
be making some new songs for him, probably some didge-solo's and some
with electro/minimal and djembe or other rhythms.
juli
6 2006 - Look, is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, it's a month...
In
the events section, you should have seen there was another exhibition
in Antwerp (Antwerp Expo) [wasn't in event section though].
Boy oh boy what a jif...
Now, by now we've been in quite some expo's all over the country, and
I was looking forward to be able to play in the Antwerp Expo.. But it's
proven again that the building named 'expo' has definitely nothing
to do with the people who organize exhibitions.
Example : there were three corridors in the expo-hall, made from *tatadum*
2 meter high cardboard placed in a zigzag (so it wouldn't fall down)
!!
The whole set-up reeked off professionallity *sarcasm off*.
Anyway, it was a quick in&out with a teaser concert and left *shrug*.
june
2 2006 - personal
no
updates and nothing happening at the moment, since I'm working hard
(7/7) on a new home and we're about to move into it (finally). More
later ...
april
21 2006 - About time too
Holy
macaroni.
I guess an update was WAY overdue :) Not much happening though. There
is an upcoming exhibition in Kortrijk.
In other news, I'm strongly considering making contact with DJ Christrian
Thomas again to pickup our minimal project. I've also had contact with
BenZen and talked about a possible partnership... so we'll see in the
near future..
februari
6 2006 - A lesson well learned
Turn
up for the workshop was a bit disappointing, but it's my own fault in
the end.
I didn't do my own advertising, mail-sending and promotion, so I can
only blame myself :) Oh well, no harm done. Next one will come soon
enough...
On
march 12th, there will be a jam near the coastline of belgium (Koksijde).
Check more details here
(if you're english, just post and we'll inform you in english). Check
events as well...
januari
20 2006 - Workshop
A
late happy new year and all that...
I've got plenty of new dates of all sorts of activities, which I'll
be adding later, but most important event is : a new workshop date.
februari 5th !! Check out here
for into (dutch).
Because I've had a lot of personal contact with people asking about
a new workshop, there's a great chance that I'll be doing an extra workshop
shortly thereafter, for the people that were left out of the loop...
so check back often if you were too late registering for the workshop
(which I advise you to do :)
Go to the contact section to send a mail for registering.
december
14 2005 - Small Update
Just
updated the events section. There's not a lot planned at the moment,
but that's mostly because of coming new year and all .. Normally, in
January, there will be new relaxation concerts, I will be doing workshops
didgeridoo (beginner).
If all goes well, I'll also be starting my encausting painting, which
I've come to know and love. More on that later...
november
22 2005 - Look up "busy" in the dictionary
...and
you'll find my photo next to it. I decided to do a little update, since
it has been so long. The kids and last changes to our new home have
taken up most of my time, but that didn't keep me from going to the
khoomii workshop (see below).
The workshop was given by Michael Ormiston & Candida Valentino -who,
after some online researched, seemed to be well known in the throathsinging
scene!.
I now know there is a difference between Khoomii (mongolian) and khoomei
(tuvan)!! Normally, I was set to learn sygyt (tuvan) but instead was
thought shahaltai (mongolian), which is about the same in technique
and sound, except that in sygyt the base-drone is almost completely
soundless. I guess i'll be searching for a khoomei workshop someday...
Funny enough, I continued to search on the internet for more information
and soundbytes on khoomii and came across an mp3 khoomei course. Using
this, I learned the Kargyraa style on my own :). I didn't get confirmation
of a throatsinger about what I'm doing, but I know and feel that I'm
doing the right thing .. quite exciting and sounds great :)
Meanwhile, we (the relaxation team) have done another exhibition and
will be doing another really soon.
The second concert is almost finished, and recordings of the first one
are on their way to be done real soon.
After some months, I finally made some time to do another didgejam as
well. I love these, but sadly enough I'll have to pass up on the next
few ones :/
september
30 2005 - New website
My
my, a lot has happened these past few months. I've been SO busy in my
personal life (new home, new kids), I haven't had the chance to update
the website.
Ever since I came in contact with the didgeclub,
we've been playing a lot together and it's a LOT of fun and very educational
in means off learning new rhythms and such.
Meanwhile, we're working on a second version of our relaxation
concert so we can switch between the two concerts to give the regular
audience something new.
I've been completely overwhelmed by the Fujara
and I AM going to buy one for sure. While saving up for a real one,
I've bought an overtone flute (in .sk known as shepherd flute) so I
can practice a bit with the breathing and the tones. This flute is about
30cm/11" has only 1 hole for 1 addition note, but can play up to
5/6 different octaves with air pressure. It sounds great, but nothing
compared to a Fujara, of course I've already experimented in making
an overtone flute myself (of about 1m/39") and it actually worked
:)
Next to this, am I also enrolled in an workshop Khoomii
(Tuvan overtone singing), scheduled on the 8th october, so I can learn
to sing khoomii. I'm going especially to learn sygyt.
Yep,
busy busy busy ;)
Oh
yeah... I would almost forget :) I've given the website a new look.
The old look didn't work form me anymore .. there was something wrong
with it. Ohwell, hope you like the new interface.

20 2005 - Update website
Updated
website.
Had a fun didgejam yesterday
may
30 2005 - Didge workshop
Finally,
after a long time again some way overdue didge lessons (semi-advanced).
I enrolled in a bunch of semi-advanced didge lessons given by Goanna
to learn to play some faster rhythms and especially the breathing that
goes along with it. As from lesson two, I was already pleased with the
lessons as my breathing picked up the pace. Me happy now !
For the future, there are some relaxationconcerts
(new link) scheduled and the forest festival is coming up, so time do
some practicing. Combined with me new didge-skills, I think I'm gonna
like it *grin*.
Check MEDIA section for some dotpaintings I did on artpad.
april
4 2005 - New relaxation concert
The
Didgejam in Antwerp was cool. Tastes for more ... I got to know the
Fujara. The person
who played it -and played it VERY well I must add- got me really really
interested in it. Even to such a degree that I'm considering postponing
my purchase of another didgeridoo and buying a Fujara instead... but
we'll see... we'll see :)
May 15th, there will be another relaxation concert. see events
