quick note while I'm thinking about it. My previous colleague and dear friend Martin Hoyt introduced me first to Stars of the Lid and more recently to a spinoff project called A Winged Victory for the Sullen. we recently attended their SF concert at the Independent. It's billed as "chamber music" but in addition to three string instruments also incorporates keyboards and electronically-processed bass guitar. Both "bands" are exceptional, particularly if like me you're a big fan of the classic, spare ambient sounds pioneered by Brian Eno.
Some examples:
Stars of the Lid (the last being a particular favorite of mine)
A Winged Victory for the Sullen (with again the last link being my favorite)
