On the latest episode of ‘Extra Eclectic,’ Toru Takemitsu’s A String Around Autumn is the centerpiece of an hour that sets the tone for the coming of fall, with additional music including works by Xavi Torres (Season of Light) and Michael Harrison (Revealing the Tones). In the second hour, host Steve Seel features contemporary composers whose careers have found them equally at home composing for the concert hall and the silver screen — including Johann Johannsson, James Newton Howard and Hildur Gudnadottir.
