If you aren't familiar with Jay Z's work, about two years ago, hip hop's biggest name and entrepreneur collaborated with artist Marina Ambramović on his then-upcoming music video for "Picasso Baby." At the time, the artist, Marina, felt used at the end of the experience.

EXCLUSIVE: Wilco's Glenn Kotche on 'Wild Sound' for Third Coast Percussion, Notre Dame Engineering, Arduino Technology and Why Kentucky Lost to Wisconsin
As both a modern composer and, of course, the man on the throne for modern rock 'n' roll's last band standing, Wilco, Glenn Kotche is nothing if not maddeningly prolific. With his credits on records nearing the century mark (do check out his most recent work on Missy Mazzoli's 'Vespers for a New Dark Age'), his commissions, too, are coming in fast and furious and increasingly august: Kronos Quartet, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Sō Percussion, eighth blackbird and founding BoAC cellist Maya Beiser. Add to those a national advert for Delta's Touch2O faucets and a drum kit on full display at the Rhythm Discovery Center Museum, and the city of Chicago's best drummer might just be the most heard contemporary composer in America.
