Aboriginal Sound Instruments


Aboriginal Studies Press acknowledges the financial support from Dr Carolyn Lowry OAM and Mr Peter Lowry OAM in digitising some of the liner notes of Alice Moyle's recordings.
Recorded at a number of different localities in northern Australia, the sound instruments featured include idiophones (paired sticks, boomerang clapsticks, rasps); the membranophone (the hand-beaten, single-headed, skin drum from Cape York, Queensland) and the aerophone, generally known as the didjeridu.
