Philip Glass
Philip Glass is a contemporary (b. 1937) American minimalist (he rejects this term) composer. He authored operas, theatre works, ten symphonies, concertos, chamber music and film scores, such as the magnificent A Brief History of Time for Errol Morris's documentary (more on that here). You can play it here to set yourself in the mood:
Some renditions of his work, like this passage [1] from the String Quartet No. 5 by the Kronos Quartet (for which this was written), seem to open a door to another dimension.
