Evocative electronic music & live slide didgeridoo....
As the name implies, Indidginus is a look into foreign cultures where the sounds are local to those inhabitants of the region. Michael Martin is Indidginus and he resides in Cape Town where the land of Africa meets the sea on its southern shore. South Africa is a melting pot influenced by many cultures from around the globe. So too is the work of Indidginus. Michael pulls together an expression of the world’s music, blending electronic beats amongst the sounds of his personal didgeridoo. Foreign instruments and languages work to transport his modern medium of electronic music.
Michael has been creating music for several years now. It began with a love of the didg and a personal trip to Tanzania where the idea grew to incorporate his instrument into danceable music. His journey into electronica transformed into his solo work as Indidginus. Along his musical voyage he collaborates with Matt Hillier of Ishq on a project entitled Open System. Ishq records on the international Interchill Records, a location not unsuitable for Indidginus given the overwhelming influences of organic music. The style of Indidginus and Ishq meld together beautifully, and their collaborative work can be heard on several tracks on his downtempo album Align on the Microdot Music label.
Michael has also been busy writing progressive psytrance – the results of which can be heard in his release Feast or Famine also on Microdot Music (due date for release – 6th December 2008)
