Is there Any new Classical??

I know that question is a bit unrational (KRS inspired), but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any new/modern classical type shit thats happening. I'm thinking the 2000's equivalent of a john cage or morton feldman. Something that's at least a little bit listenable. I've been reading about and have even seen one of those laptop performances, and well, it seemed to be more about the process than the noises and sounds. Basically, does anyone know of any half-way legitimate emerging new shit that's not corny, not overy pompous but is smart, musically innovative and musically inspired? Or is what I'm describing MPC music?

    Francisco Lopez is doing some cool stuff, playing tones and making people listen blind folded. http://www.franciscolopez.net/

    I used to know more about this stuff but I don't really care as much lately. This dude is chill, though

    I don't know if this counts, but I've been listening to Gavin Bryar's Vita Nuova a lot. On the headphones it's

    Have you heard a group called Rachel's? Really nice stuff. More on the ambient side also check for Labradford.

    Kronos Quartet has many contemporary composers composing shit just for them. Highly recomended.
