I found a great paper on James Tenney's Postal Pieces. If you're not familiar with these, I highly recommend looking into them, both for the beautiful music and the idea of taking a simple idea and deriving a whole performance from it.
Here's the link.
I saw the bassist Robert Black perform "Beast" from the Postal Pieces, and it was so haunting and beautiful. I've heard that Sonic Youth also does a rendition of "Having Never Written a Note for Percussion".
