Carl Vine (1954 - ) is an Australian composer and pianist. At the University of Western Australia, he actually studied physics before turning to composing. He was first known as a composer for dance works, but now has written 7 symphonies and 7 concertos.
Much of his chamber music can be found on Tall Poppies Records. His orchestral music is released on ABC Classics. There is a CD of symphonies 1 - 6 as well as his piano and oboe concertos. He has just finished a violin concerto which will be premiered in July. More information on Vine can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Vine.
Unfortunately, there is not much of his music on Youtube. There are some solo piano pieces, one symphony, and the piano concerto.
I have heard his piano concerto (first movement below) and 4 of his symphonies. The music is very approachable. I especially enjoy Symphony 3 and the piano concerto.
