Dijiridu

A dijiridu was a musical instrument. It was a long, cylindrical woodwind native to the aboriginal cultures of Australia on the planet Earth.

A human Dissenter named Gunabibi owned a dijiridu on Rampart in the 24th century. Utilizing a process of circular breathing, she was able to play without any pauses for breaths.

History
In 2366, during the Dissenter’s assault on the thought-police at CephCom, Gunabibi played her dijiridu into a microphone which Coyote patched through CephCom’s intercoms and Cephalic Security officers’ headsets, a tactic designed to disable the troops. The music she played was a complex fertility song from her Australian heritage and was representative of the double-helix of DNA as it looped infinitely through time. The wildly creative expression was anathema to the severely-restrictive Rampartian way of life, triggering seizures in some of the security officers, while others collapsed in terror and began hallucinating.
