The main point of difference in Barrtjap’s performance of song 13, recorded by Marett in 1988, is his initial use of fast doubled beating, which later changes to the same uneven quadruple (rhythmic mode 5c) as used by Bandak and Wurrpen throughout their performances. Apart from this, Barrtjap’s performance is very similar to that of Bandak in both text and melody, as was pointed out in Songs, dreamings and ghosts (Marett, 2005, p 178, ex. 7.6). [66] Barrtjap also uses a slightly different form of didjeridu mouth sounds in the coda.
