I like how everybody skipped me.

Also, in terms of IDM, have you ever checked out Kid 606 or Clark? I'd recommend Kid 606's Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You and Clark's Turning Dragon if you haven't heard them.

I have Clark's Clarence Park, but I will definitely get Turning Dragon, and I've also been meaning to get into Kid 606.

Any recommendations on avant garde musicians that incorporate classical instruments in their music?

Well, you have avant-garde composers in so called art music.

Iannis Xenakis - Jonchaies He used different mathematical models for composing, making a kind of architectural music. But this composition is just a blast!
György Ligeti - Lontano You have probably heard some of his compositions in Kubrick films (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining - this one). So thanks to Kubrick stealing Ligeti's music (I mean using it without permission), we now have such audio-visual mastery that is 2001: A Space Odyssey. Well played.
Harry Partch - Exordium: The Beginning Of A Web (Delusion of the Fury) Well, there are no classical instruments here, but ones made by Partch himself. (although maybe he left some, I'm not sure)

What about any that incorporate interesting lyrics? Or artists within the realm of Xiu Xiu or the Velvet Underground (who aren't quite Avant-garde, but you get what I mean).

I'd look into the now recently departed Captain Beefheart for that. Like or no, There's no way you could not consider his lyrics interesting.

I love Partch's instruments. I also love the vagrant theme of Delusion of Fury.

I'm blanking on a name... The first letter of his name starts with a "k." He's an avant garde composer who was very influential with Throbbing Gristle. Does anyone know?
