Hey people of the internet!

I'm a current masters student at conservatoire studying classical saxophone, however i've been starting to carve out a niche of modern / third stream compositions in my repertoire list.

I was wondering if anybody has some good suggestions for compositions around this style? A few composers / performers that I've been taking a liking to are Brad Meldhau, Hiromi, Nikolai Kapustin and Marius Neset among a bunch of others. Another subsection-ish of this are more 'produced' musicians, like Anomalie and Rob Araujo.

For my end of year recital coming up in a couple of weeks i'm playing a few pieces that fit in this niche:

Impulse - Devanii

Collection of Beat - Shohei Wani

I know there are more well known pieces that fit this niche (stuff like the Phil Woods sonata are done to death a bit, but i found THIS version which felt like a fairly fresh take on it), but i'm looking for some fresh stuff that is pretty under the radar.

If anybody has any good leads on contemporary / young composers writing sheet music for this kind of stuff, with the music at least somewhat accessible, that would be great!
