California quarter-tone composer Mildred Couper.
Not just 1/6 of Les Six: Germaine Tailleferre.
Mexican microtonal theorist and composer Augusto Novaro: here and here (a wav file).
The last of the red-hot ultramodernists, Leo Ornstein.
A nice repository of the surviving ancient Greek and Hellenistic music.
Never really lost, but still good to find: Josef Matthias Hauer.
An interesting chat about the Russian-American composer and cultural cold warrier Nicholas Nabokov; this is a composer whose catalog needs some sober evaluation.
The internet still needs a good site for Nicholas Obuchov (as well as the other Skryabinistes), William Denny (an interesting neoclassicist, and not a minor teacher: he played catch with Terry Riley in a Utah performance of La Monte Young's Poem for chairs, tables, benches etc.), Robert Erickson, Richard Maxfield, Barney Childs...
In another post, I'll list some of the living composers I think ought to have an internet presence.
