Bio
Since 1993, Pitz has been immersed in the Didgeridoo by performing concerts, playing on recordings, instructing workshops, leading school assemblies, teaching “Didge” lessons and handcrafting Didgeridoos. The deep felt connection to the Didgeridoo combined with Pitz’s eagerness to pass on what he has learned about the Didge, has become a mission of his life’s work. Another mission is, Pitz showcases the Didgeridoo in as many musical settings as possible to demonstrate it's sonic versatility...

“MONTPELIER – Pitz Quattrone is on a mission to promote the Didgeridoo in the USA. "It's the oldest instrument on the planet, dating back at least 40,000 years." I like weird sounds and this is the king of weird sounds." The Didgeridoo player flaps one's lips loosely in the mouthpiece end, similar to what a tuba player does. An important aspect for continuous music is circular breathing. This keeps a continuous stream of air going into the instrument, while breathing in the nose for the lungs. "It takes cheek muscles and timing, I’ve developed simple exercises to achieve both. Beginning on Sept. 26, at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier, Quattrone will host the first of three workshops to share his passion. "My goal is to show how flexible this instrument can be in different music settings".
