He's cropped up here and there on this list (in reference, not in person). 
For my own part, he was the first performer I ever saw who was using
real-time looping in a live performance context.  I saw several of the
performance art pieces he did with vocalist Rinde Eckert about ten years
ago;  I'd surely like to have a copy of "Slow Fire" today (I fear my
original cassette copy has vanished in the mists of time).  Last I heard,
he was living in Minneapolis, and was doing some collaborations with the
California EAR unit; anyone else know what he's been up to in the last
several years?
