Kurs-Nr.: A4
A4: Didgeridoo Rhythmen, Atemtechnik, Komposition „Das Didgeridoo ist für mich eines dieser faszinierenden Instrumente, bei denen es keinen genauen Anfang oder Ende gibt, keine Regeln wie, oder was man spielen soll und darf. Endlose Improvisationen und Spielweisen erweitern dieses oft
„primitiv“ genannte Instrument zu einem der interessantesten.“ |
Kursleiter: Ronan Skillen wurde
1980 in Irland geboren, ist aber in Deutschland aufgewachsen und lebt seit
2000 in Kapstadt, S.A.. Bei
den Aborigines lernte er deren Kultur kennen. In den letzten 14 Jahren hat
Ronan durch globale Eindrücke und Reisen sich seinen eigen Stil erworben,
der aus detallierter und rhythmischer Klarheit besteht. Unter
anderem ist Ronan auch ein Tabla Spieler und begeisterter
Percussionist. |

Skillen: Born in N. Ireland May 1980. Ronan
began his career with 7 years of classical French horn training in Germany.
Soon after he was introduced to the Australian didgeridoo by master drummer,
Emmanuel Gomado
from Ghana. Ronan spent time in Australia learning about Aboriginal
tradition and has created his own style of didgeridoo playing. After much
self teaching and musical travels Ronan was fortunate to meet a great Tabla
maestro. Having been passionate about Indian percussion and always keen on
the Tabla this new chapter couldn’t have come too soon. Ronan began
playing Tabla in 2003. His teacher, Ustad
Akram Khan is known as India’s master of a very rich and intricately
technical north Indian style known as the Ajarara
Gharana. As a disciple continuous learning is the focus and Ronan
regularly visits India to further his studies. Ronan has managed to create a
fusion of tabla, percussion and didgeridoo within one context by means of a
hybrid percussion kit designed by Ronan. This has become part of his
permanent set-up and demonstrates a rich textural variety as well as an
intriguing versatility. Ronan
has featured his sound in genres across the board from classical through
rock, folk, electro, jazz, world music and hip hop. Ronan has performed
throughout Africa, Europe and India and has featured on many recordings and
film scores. Some
noteworthy collaborations include recent performances with Johnny
Clegg, Ricardo Garcia from Spain,
Coleman Barks (Rumi poet and
translator) Jazzart, Freshlyground,
