Same reason I find this kind of work interesting. Nice work, on the 
samples.

Yes, i do this kind of thing fairly often.

Last year I spent several sessions working with a tuba player, feeding his 
mic'd tuba into my effects chain an looping and processing it in real 
time.

More on that project I posted to the list here:

We plan to return to more work on this project this spring.

Also, last summer I took a 30min live performance (that was recorded) and 
manipulated it live in real-time as a performance. More info in this email 
to the list last July:
