Some
Background
Randin Graves is a world renowned expert on the Australian didgeridoo.
After establishing himself as a leading American performer, recording artist
and teacher, in 2003 he was granted a Fulbright fellowship, relocated to
remote Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia, completed
a master's degree in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies with
a project on the didjeridu that included the landmark website
Yidakiwuy Dhawu
Miwatjngurunydja and, with Milkay Mununggurr, the instructional CD Hard
Tongue Didgeridoo, available on this website. He lived in Arnhem Land
for five years, working as a manager of the benchmark-setting
Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Aboriginal
Art Centre and launching it's Mulka Project multimedia archive and training
centre. Randin has learned from and worked with Aboriginal players Djalu'
Gurruwiwi, David Blanasi, Janawirri Yiparrka,
Mark Atkins and many more and is a trained musician and composer.
A family crisis led to Randin's return to the USA in 2009, and he is now based in
Salt Lake City, Utah, where he is focusing on his composing career, but still offers didgeridoo lessons. With his musical background and
deep connection to the Aboriginal originators of the instrument, there's no one better in the USA to study didjeridu with. Contact him at:
