Most of the connections exist via association, not via influence.
The majority of "complex electronic music" that is discussed on this list
has little-to-no influence derived from anything in the classical world,
barring, perhaps, a scale or the circle fifths or something.
It's mostly a fan association - we like complex things, so we seek out
other complex things.
I believe Richard Devine states he was influenced by some classical music
when he was growing up. At least, according to his Native Instruments
interview. Mostly, though, his influence is based on the "separate
movements" of classical music, not any particular avant garde composer.
Many of the mentioned artists have done good things for allowing music that
we enjoy to exist, but not directly.
