At a concert in London a few years ago with Hyperion he had a brilliant composer's strop at Tim Hodgkinson for doing something wrong on the bass clarinet, I guess. Dumi disappeared from the venue for a good half hour. It was all very uncomfortable and dramatic. Later he played back galactically cataclysmic computer pieces through a portable PA at irresponsible volume.

Classic, in other words.

RIP Ana-Maria Avram. This one really hurts, not only totally unexpected but recent pieces was some of her absolute best. I always loved early pieces like 'Zodiaque III' but that recent ED MN 1029 CD was ridiculous, and going through her soundcloud today on good speakers, I'm hearing myself yell at least once during every track
I might start with 'Metal Storm (Computer Assisted Version) for Stephen O'Malley' if you're impatient or just dive in
