Keef Baker turned Ableton Live into a computer game
No, I'm not kidding.
His whole set is completely improvised. None of the songs are set in stone. He makes them up depending on how the crowd reacts, or what he feels like playing. Yet it sounds like complete, coherent songs!
He set Ableton Live up into being this giant music making machine that could seriously be marketed as a sort of reverse electronic music version of guitar hero, where you play the music and make people dance, depending on what "people" in the game want, instead of trying to hit the notes of a given song.
All that's missing is a screen with animations of people dancing and you scoring points and powerups or whatever.
