How about looped bagpipe? Just imagine, looping one
of those suckers about 10 layers worth. Just kidding.... :) Although a bagpipe
through some interesting tone mangling effects would be truly intersting.

Hi there,
Okay, i'll bite. If anyone had
asked me to name the least-likely- to-be-looped instrument and possibly
the least-likely-to-be-looped music I might've said it would be something
like mountain dulcimer and old Shaker hymns. There! I said it. But what
you've done sounds quite fine and rather more interesting than just the
novel material "Simple Gifts" and instumentation (so stated) would
suggest.
The other tune on there, "The Gorge," sounds like dulcimer
doing vaguely Balinese gamelan type music along with some digeridoo
--- at least it starts out that way. Quite nice. Seems like there might
be a some guitar in there too . . . and Tabla. You ought to pester Rick
Walker to let you come down to Santa Cruz next year and perform.
Heck if you have a penchant for hymnody, I kicked off my Y2K3
set this year with a brief quote ofJean Sibelius "Finlandia" -- which
in a completely different context is also the white-bread protestant hymn
"Be Still My Soul."
It takes all sorts to make a world an you'll
find many of them in the "looping community" as well. Welcome
aboard.
Best regards,
