Much liked! I've seen Max Ochs at a couple of house concerts recently here in the DC area.

Evolving Mutation (naviarhaiku503)

A guitar-only ambient offering for the Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself

The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

This has my present-day performance being overdubbed on to a recording I made decades ago. Which lends a new meaning to this week's call for music that "listens to itself" .

In order to select a launching pad to work off of, I had a search around my personal sound library and found a sample I recorded on my tape deck back in 1992. This starts off the track, fed through various delay instances in Logic. 

Onto that, I overdubbed three guitar tracks using different settings/modes on the Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat, a granular sampler/delay that plays and re-plays what you feed into it, changing the sounds constantly through its internal algorithms as it goes along - and I also opted to make it sound even more organic by keeping fiddling with the knobs as the sounds played back. 
I went for particularly calm, slow movements, in order to achieve that "meditative" and "particularly quiet" quality Marc (@disquiet) called for.

I am particularly fond of the tension between the material from then vs the recordings made now. What you're hearing on top of that basic track is a kind of bass line and two more mid-range/trebly Fabrikat tracks. Et voilá!

Enjoy!
