My solo cello shows are more sound art than music I guess.  Every once in 
a while I'll toss in some snippets of Bach, Kodaly or Crumb to see if 
anyone notices (they don't).  I've done more musical improvisations in my 
solo bass shows, but I think because (in my head) it's harder to think of 
it in a less directly musical way (those damn frets).

I've composed some very loose pieces for small ensembles where it's in 
more of a musical improvisation style.

I really admire Stuart Wyatts ability to mix textures into very musical 
improvisations.  I need to spend more time thinking about that direction 
with my cello and electronics.

this is probably the most I've posted to the list in a short time period 
in the last X years since I've been on it.
