involves a complex myriad of instruments: didgeridoos(slide didgeridoo), saxophones, percussion (from African djembe to Japanese Taiko drums), keyboards, guitar, marimbas and Native American flute.
As a soloist, Dave plays several instruments simultaneously while combining a unique blend of percussive and melodic rhythms over which he alternates the deep piercing of the didgeridoo with the jazz-affiliated saxophones, or the more meditative Native American Flute.
The result is a wholesome, penetrating explosion of sound and rhythm that awakens in the audience a soul-filled feeling.
Dave has spent years traveling to different parts of Australia, both performing and recording along the way. As an independent musician of remarkable skill, he sets up his recording studio wherever he goes and keeps on producing his own recordings.
With 3 CD’s now available and another on the way, those that want a taste of true inspiration are bound to be enticed by the journey of sound created and expressed by Dave Johnson.
