You first. What was your objection to Philip Cashian's piece?

Classic diversion. Typical behavior from you.

Not to insert myself into what will turn into a moronic spat, but he did list at least one reason why he found the piece terrible.

I intend on not making this a spat. It's simply not worth it. I asked a question, he diverted. I won't ask again. I'm done. Now, back to the new...

Tell us how you really feel. Not all music has to be on the cutting edge to be enjoyable. I haven't really sat down and listened to this work, but it has been getting some genuinely good press. What is your objection with it?

I completely agree about not all music having to be cutting edge to be enjoyable.  However I don't really set that much importance in whatever press a piece has, many pieces have hardly any press anyway.  I just decide for myself having listened closely to something and compared it subconsciously with what I see as good musicality in other works of the same style.

Personally I would put 'new' music as from the 90s onwards.  The 70s and even the 80s (particularly the first half) I would put more under the classic modernist period, and I love music from both those decades.

So here is something from 2000.  It isn't a modernist styled piece, but I still think there is a freshness to it even though it could have been written a century ago.

Thought I'd share this here.

Here are some new pieces performed by an ensemble I set up to play newly composed works. They were composed especially for the event so only have been performed once (although some will probably get played again at some point, by us or maybe by others). There are a wide range of styles here. I won't embed the videos in the post since don't want to take up too much space.
