Extra Eclectic - July 26, 2023

Your ears will positively tingle in the first hour of Extra Eclectic when host Steve Seel features work by Turkish-American composer Mehmet Ali Sanlikol. His unique style melds classical, jazz and traditional Turkish music, and his work A Gentleman of Istanbul brings all those sounds to life. In the second hour, it's a quiet set that veers from the calm to the eerie, with music by Pauline Oliveros, Missy Mazzoli and Timo Andres.
