Just like guitar ;-)

I'd add DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist to the list above too, there's a 
video called "Thud Rumble" that has a performance by them that is 
just jaw dropping. And they are clearly improvising.

I saw DJ Olive a few weeks ago with Dave Douglas new septet, and he 
did an amazing solo, using 2 copies of what was probably a live jazz 
lp, taking a spoken word intro to a piece and turning it into walls 
of multilayered jibberish.
