HD comp footage of the Dr. Didg band in action Dec 2010. The Dr. Didg band features loop-based didgeridoo/keyboard/synth/melodica samples, and layers them on the fly - without any aid of computer software. The band fills in all other gaps in the sound. Depending on the didgeridoo being used, the music will be tonally based around the keys of Eb, Db C, Bb. More keys can be added to set upon the used of the Keyed Didg.
