French manufacturer of “Triton Squad” didgeridoos

Mitch, who is he?

Alias Mich or Mitch, he started music at the age of 10 by learning the trumpet in his village's music school. A jack of all trades, he also indulges in the joys of the clarinet and the synthesizer. In 1999, when he was 18 years old, he made his first trip to Australia, to visit his godfather and godmother. The latter offered him an instrument then little known in France: the didgeridoo. He immediately fell under the spell and returned a few weeks later with his first didgeridoo under his arm. Entirely self-taught, he perseveres and overcomes one by one the challenges posed by this ancestral and sacred instrument. Passionate and constantly in search of new sounds, he accumulates a veritable forest of didgeridoos, often leaving those around him perplexed when it comes to the high number of his instruments. He is regularly asked if Triton Squad is not an association of didgeridoo players... To this he replies that no, he is alone and happy. His dream is to reach 100 didgs at the end of his life. On several occasions he made his own instruments, which delighted him to the highest degree.

What is Triton Squad?

In 2013, the level he reached allowed him to create his company “Triton Squad” so that he could share his passion and make the didgeridoo known to as many people as possible. His business is divided into 5 types of services: concerts, educational interventions, vibraphonic treatments, private lessons and the manufacture/sale of didgeridoos. Mitch wants to work with children and adolescents to share with them the pacifist values linked to the practice of his instrument. To enable him to practice in the school environment, he received approval as an external speaker in musical education for the departments of Haut Rhin and Bas Rhin.

In May 2017, he “confronted” himself with the greatest European players during Didg à didg n°4. He then finished in the round of 16.

In 2019, during didg to didg n°5 which became international with the arrival of 2 Mexicans, a Peruvian and an Iranian, Mitch finished the pacifist competition in the semi-final, i.e. in the top 4 of the best registered players to this competition.
