Joan has done several solo albums. Strange Toys is very good, and is all her compositions. She uses some loops and electronics, so it has a bit of a Philip Glass flavor. All my Kronos albums are from when she was in the group. I haven't heard any of the later ones, except their music in Requiem for a Dream. They did appear in the recent Zappa documentary performing one of his pieces.
I saw Kronos at Stanford in the late 80s. It was a free rehearsal for their performance that night. They did Steve Reich's Different Trains and I was stunned. They had many speakers for the sampled bits (maybe tape?) so the voices and train sounds moved all around the room.
