In 2005 the sound of a simple hollow stick, the didgeridoo, captured Pamela Mortensen’s imagination by way of hearing an album by Aboriginal player David Hudson. This newfound experiment quickly turned into a passion taking Mortensen on a journey like no other.

Inspired by Turkish rhythms and urban beats among many other things, she practiced day and night, finding a combination of voice, rhythm and ambience that dives into and brings out the worlds of her imagination. She weaves a combination of light and dark, complexity and simplicity, color and contrast and touches it at times with a sense of humor transporting listeners to a realm of inner and outer spaces. The result is a richly colored tapestry of sound that is quickly becoming recognized and is earning her a spot as one of best of the emerging talent in didgeridoo playing in the US.
