The Didge Project are AJ Block and Tyler Sussman, a pair of California-bred jazz musicians who fell in love with the didgeridoo. Together in their Brooklyn home base, the duo handcraft instruments, conduct intensive sound healings, and constantly spread the gospel of the Aboriginal aerophone.
I first encountered the Didge Project right outside my front door. One sunny spring morning, I emerged from my apartment building to the sounds of a mighty, throbbing pulse. Confused, I looked up at the sky for a low-flying airplane. Finding nothing, I gingerly felt my stomach, imagining that a lack of breakfast must have precipitated an unusually vigorous tummyrumble. The thought of food caused me to cast a glance at the coffee shop across the street from my stoop, and there the mystery revealed itself — AJ Block, blowing blissfully into a massive didgeridoo.
