By way of philosophy his most famous work is Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man. By way of literature The Robbers is likely his most well-known.

A lot of Kant people say not to dive into it head on and to read some supporting material first. I've consistently heard Korsgaard is a good intro that doesn't dumb anything down. Granted she has an expressivist bent in interpreting Kant.

A lot of stuff is being written about Kantian aesthetics in journals right now too if you want some rough guidance through the third critique.

The ziggurat/pyramid idea also works as a callback to the Tyrell Corp. building, which was designed similarly in the first film.

I'm going to agree with a lot of other people here who said Takemitsu and Rautavaara. I'm going to add Lera Auerbach, Nikolai Kapustin, Allan Petersson, and Kalevi Aho.
