I was very fortunate in having a very cool write up over at Sequenza21. Steve Layton authored it.  I want to make a quick mention of him and his music.  Layton is humble about his compositions and does more than outstanding selfless promotions of living composers.  That will not overshadow his music in the least.  He is simply one of those composers, the rare ones who can balance unbelievable amounts of work within the avant, contemporary community writing up articles, reviews, and staying on top of his own works.  In the same vein as Liszt, Schumann, Varese, great contributors to their contemporaries, his music too stands out of the crowd.
