I heard a recording of this piece about eight years ago and loved it. It's been released on a couple of albums (including one by Eighth Blackbird), and every time I come across it, I like it again. It weaves between disjointed percussive notes and the full melodic totalist sound that Mazzoli does really well.

Thee Oh Sees – Toe Cutter // Thumb Buster
The search function says no one has played Thee Oh Sees here? I feel like someone should rectify that.
Andy Akiho – 21
Performed by Mariel Roberts and Ian Rosenbaum
Jace Clayton – .d.u.s.t..s.t.a.r.c.h..m.e.a.t.s.
Performed by Saul Williams and Mivos Quartet.
Jace Clayton did an album where he applied his electronic manipulations to music by Julius Eastman - The Julius Eastman Memory Depot. I couldn't find any live performances from that album, but if you read this, you should give that album a listen. Every time I do, I realize again how much I like it.
Eastman was a queer black radical in NYC in the '70's, so his piece titles tend to be provocative. Fair warning.
