One of the things I like about all this mp3.com business is occasionally
finding some work that is really interesting that there's no way I would
have found otherwise.

Evan Evans is a young American composer who has been writing music since
he was a small child.  His father was jazz great Bill Evans.  He lives
in California and composes film scores in addition to purely "classical"
works.  At http://mp3.com/EvanEvans-class he has two movements of a large
work that was commissioned by the United Nations' "Art Beyond Borders"
program.  One movement is for string quartet, the other is for percussion
ensemble.  I find it very strong, individual music, and it's also
interesting to go to his other pages where he has posted some of his music
for film and tv to see the contrast of his compositional technique.
Interesting stuff.

The works are also excellently recorded and performed by real live
musicians, not the MIDI stuff which one encounters so much.
