Only just found out that Romanian composer Ana-Maria Avram passed away at the beginning of this month, aged 55. :( Information about the cause of her death doesn't seem to have been published as yet.
Piece from The Wire on Ana-Maria's passing here. Another here.

I've only been listening to her music for a couple of years, along with that of her husband Iancu Dumitrescu (both pictured below), but it's been life-changing - new extremes in modern classical music that have really broadened my listening horizons. RIP Ana-Maria, and condolences to Iancu - I believe they'd been together since the late 80s/early 90s.
More to come soon from Ana-Maria and Iancu on this blog - for now, already posted are:
