Box.net works!  
 
I'm recording some solo piccolo stuff...here's a quirky little number called Slap....

We'll be premiering about a half hour of new tracks featuring the piccolo bass next Friday on a live365 station, www.radioenigma.com

It's just the piccolo and reverb...oh, and a little flange/phase on some of it...
 
So far I've got about 30-40 minutes of this stuff...some longer pieces. It's definitely weird how, listening to it, it seems to turn into these other instruments...lute, mandolin, sitar...

Here's another one, you can see what I'm talking about....
 
The Umbrellas

I really like this one too!  Beautiful music, great tone, great playing!
 
One thing I'm noticing about these box.net streaming tunes, they seem to automatically loop and replay.

I just noticed that too.

So here's the sort of stuff that bedevils me about this...listening to this in the studio for two weeks now, you start to hear all these far-out characteristics...for instance, at the beginning of that track, listening to that guitar line, you start hearing this single note held over it, like a flute. Call me crazy! I actually loaded up my mellotron and found the note and played it, and it sounded exactly like what I was hearing.  
 
I'd actually appreciate confirmation on this as proof that I'm not insane. Something about the way the harmonics/frequencies are resonating or something?

I really like 'Umbrellas as well !   What is the string gauge and tuning ?  This tune really triggers positive mind space for me .  SWELL !

I noticed that extra part too, and at first I thought it was a keyboard background.  It may have something to do with how your reverb is set up.  Personally, I think it adds to the overall quality of the sound.
