We attended a strange musical performance at the Fringe, a trio that called itself Terra Camera. It consisted of a classically trained oboe player and violist plus a didgeridoo virtuoso. He played a couple of solos and explained the many techniques. The ensemble did some classical, a new composition and a bit of jazz. Heaven knows I like edgy, contemporary music but this, to my ears, didn't work all that well, sort of a buzzard with nightingales. The part I liked best was a baroque chamber piece in which the Aussie pipe played the basso continuo. That made a good fit.
Photo tip of the day: do not use fill flash on iridescent wigs and hats. It leads to disaster.

Very nice shots.
Didgeridoo and oboe... sounds interesting?
Never heard about a violist before!
But I think I know what you really meant. Nice portrait of the didgeridoo guy.
It is, of course, a most peculiar sounding instrument.
