From www.rhythmorganizm.com:
As a 5 year old Charlie Mc Mahon made his first didjeridu sounds. Aged 30 in 1981 he formed the iconic band Gondwanaland and in 2007 he is still in demand. Charlie recently did his Rhythm Organism tour of 18 club dates in Japan. He has stayed relevant by inventing new ideas for an old instrument. Nowadays he mainly plays the pitch shift DIDJERIBONE amplified with the FACE BASS, a seismic sensor. Thus enhanced his didj sound is melodic and powerful as he layers multiple didj riffs to create songs with names like Wobblin Goblin, Resonate the Head, Giddy. Rolling Stone magazine compared him to Massive Attack and Gus Gus. Audiences gasp when he hits the mic beat box style and demos a riff breathing at 125 breaths per minute then breathes that speed on his Didjbone, maintaining it for the whole song. A Rhythm Organism he clearly is.
Midnight Oil recognized his talent early on and Charlie was a regular guest with them from 1978 onward. Charlie's recording and live collaborations embrace an impressive diversity: Janes Addiction at the Big Day Out, Keith Urban for The Ranch CD, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Barbican. On film he played the opening music for Mad Max 3 and on the sound track of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
In all Charlie has recorded 9 Albums. The first contemporary didj based music was Terra Incognita (1983) and the wild & rollicking Let the Dog Out (1985). ARIA winner Gondwanaland (1987) and the later dance and electro infused Xenophon (1997), Bone Man (2003). In between Charlie took an acoustic direction for film sound track music in Travelling Songs (1994) and Tjilatjila (1996). He manages to merge acoustic into electro to give his dance music some sole and spontaneity that’s lacking in much dj music.
Overseas tours have been Charlies ’main stay’ since he developed his seismic didj sound in 1997. Countries toured include UK, USA, South Africa, Germany, France and all the other EU countries. Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Japan and Russia where ABC TV Foreign Correspondent showed him playing to rapt Moscovites in 2006. The Didjeribone went into mass production in Sydney in 2000 and over 5,000 have been sold, mainly as exports. Indigenous didj man Adrian Fabila Tjupurulla is keen Didjeribone player and partner with Charlie in Didjeribone (www.didjeribone.net).
