don't know a lot of these
it's not included here but Maryanne Amacher's Sound Characters 2 and its auditory distortion products from 2008 was amazing I thought. maybe not enough of a composition, although it felt like it to me

Can only echo the above praise, thanks for the ride Pom, it's been a fascinating journey full of new discoveries. <3
As for this final poll? I've no idea, hardly recognize anything. Will try your Selected Picks!

Oh wow. I missed quite a few of these. I'll have to catch up. Thanks for the series, pomenitul. I must have acquainted myself with hundreds of previously unfamiliar pieces as a direct result!

I listened to these two clips of the Radulescu, which I think might be the whole piece? It's pretty great, very distinctive, with engrossing things going on sonically/spectrally. Is a recording commercially available? I couldn't find one with a quick search.

James Erber's Traces was finished in 2006. The CD is on YouTube

I think I might have been at that recital, but anyway that's my write in though I like bits of the composers like Lim, Saunders, Radulescu I didn't explore enough

Is a recording commercially available?
Not to my knowledge, no, although last year's Works for Organ & for Cello featured an excerpt. There's a part III as well, which you can find on slsk.

I like Erber but don't find him as distinctive as other 'New Complexity' composers. I'll give that disc another shot soon.

Voted Liturgia fractal because writing original string quartets in the 21st century, let alone a 50+ min cycle of them, is no mean feat, and Posadas pulls it off with flying colours (synaesthetically speaking as well).

I only listened to the Cassidy, Radulescu, and Dusapin 5. (Props for coming up with 50 pieces I'd never heard before!). I gave a vote to Radulescu based on the first two parts on Youtube for its sheer audacity and scope.

haven't been able to listen to any of these this week, unfortunately. still tempted to vote for carter for "he was 99 freakin years old" reasons.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Hah, thanks to the six brave souls who voted! A lack of consensus is the best possible ending to this series.

well in all honesty the Aperghis was the only one I’ve heard
― Milton Parker, Friday, 12 June 2020 01:07 (three years ago) link
I did start the Posadas and listened to the first two pieces - it's pretty interesting. I like the delicate timbres and what I think are trills in harmonics (?) in the first piece. Nice harmonic glissandi in the second piece - that one really grabbed me viscerally.

My sincere pleasure!
I gathered all the links together should be of use to anyone in the future:
