I live in a godforsaken town in NW Ohio now, where the question "Who's your favorite modern composer ?" usually yields an answer like "Bob Dylan, I guess". I just wanted to say that my spirits are revived by this thread, and I'm very happy to read that so many others are into such great music.

I'm especially pleased with the recommendations for *current* composers. Since leaving LA I've been out of the contemporary music loop, and I have little idea who's doing new and exciting stuff. So thanks, and it looks like I'm going to have to spend some money on some new things. :)

Ooh, you paraphrased Varese. :)

I decided I liked kvr about 2-3 years ago when I started a thread about Serialism and it didn't die right away. :hihi:

That's the great thing about this interweb thingie: You aren't really trapped in whatever place you are physically located in.

Oops, posted a new thread by mistake, was supposed to go in the modern composer bin. Sorry about that...

Herodotus, thanks for the reply. I agree,I've found the KVR forums to be usually enjoyable and often very helpful.

An anecdote: When I studied with Michael Fink he got me into some great concerts at CalArts, including a birthday celebration for Milton Babbitt. He (MB, that is) selected the concert pieces himself, among which was Varese's Deserts. It was a memorable evening.
