Suggest innovators
Please suggest other innovators in the arts, sciences and business, especially if you can suggest whether they seem to be conceptual innovators, experimental innovators, or follow patterns of their own. The more specifics and the more sources you can cite, the better.

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island at age 33 and A Child’s Garden of Verses at age 35. I think he was conceptual because he is remembered for these few major titles rather than for a body of work. Some of his less-famous novels, like The Black Arrow, are actually pretty bad.

Why are there no composers? I suppose they are much like scientists or novelists, because while the appreciation of music is a right-brained activity, the creation of it is very left-brained, categorized with scientists and linguists. Anyway, there are plenty of good subjects among composers.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote Sonnets from the Portugese when she was 39. Her poetry has been criticized for not following rules of meter and form exactly
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Barrett_Browning)
which leads me to suspect she was experimental. Experimental writers are more interested in describing real life than in following literary conventions.

Calvin Markus is upcoming experimental composer, artist, and poet and has combined all three forms into ‘a loose portrait of body’ a innovative improvisation of ‘words, sounds and ink’
from his site:
“Experimental poetry, art, and music that will guide your senses through a vibrating dreamscape. A nonobjective coming-of-age story where everything is either falling apart or freeing itself from any form or structure.”
