Well this is really something.  David T. Little composes (great) Alt Classical like someone who's listened to a lot rock-band music.  Chen Yi's use of the sonorities of Chinese music gives her High Modernist compositions a sheen of seductiveness such music often lacks.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Joli Rajah:  pour 2-1/2 oz. amber Rum and 1/2 oz. each of Absinthe, lemon juice, and Grenadine into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.
