The momentum is palpable on this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic, as host Steve Seel brings us works that hum along with motor-like rhythms. We enjoy Nico Muhly’s Motion, Alex Shapiro’s Perpetual Spark, Philip Glass’s Music in Similar Motion and more. In the second hour, it’s a tribute to German composer Wolfgang Rihm, who died last month at 72.
