Composers from Southeast Asia (and those influenced by its music) are the focus on this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic. Steve Seel plays Indonesian composer Eunike Tanzil’s Serenade and Malaysian composer Su Lian Tan‘s Legend of Kintamani, as well as works by Lou Harrison and Colin McPhee, who explored the sound of the Balinese gamelan in their music. In the second hour it’s composers from down under, as Steve features works by Australians Peter Sculthorpe, John Antill, and Kate Moore, and New Zealanders Bruce Paine, Gareth Farr and Gillain Whitehead.
