A composer, most famous for his Plunderphonics, sample-and-paste transmogrifications of recorded works. He got into some legal trouble for what he did to Michael Jackson's "Bad", but his notoriety has gotten him some lawsuit-free gigs with&the Grateful Dead, Elektra Records (everything from Metallica to The Doors to the MC5 to Suzanne Vega, as part of their anniversary festivities), and Beethoven (Ludwig was pleased), et al.
