This could be 'Oh Superman' by Laurie Anderson, an experimental classic and
a ~hit~ of sorts for her in years past.

Of course it might not be this at all but it is a piece which turns up
occasionally and is often referrenced as being very influential in
avant-classical (and even possibly in the avant-electronica) circles.
