Previously (for at least two thirds of my life before fifty) I did research into the physics of black holes. At a younger age I studied and played various musical instruments, and continued to play the didgeridoo in my scientific years. In 2009 I uncovered the medusa in some corner of the collective imagination and have been developing it in various directions since then. The medusa and various derivatives - hydra, tendril, produce didgeridoo-like sounds with the possibility of modifying the tone and timbre and are particularly suitable for electronic manipulation. The latest evolution of the medusa is so different that it has its own name, the pobblebonk. My research into the medusa, the pobblebonk and various other lip reed drone instruments is ongoing. This includes creating new music, studying various amplification techniques, various extensions of these instruments, the use of the pobblebonk for neck massages, and cybernetic extensions of the basic instrument.
