Today’s composers have no fear of using electronic elements as part of their works, and on this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic, musician, composer and Your Classical Fellow Anna Tessman guest-curates a playlist showcasing modern classical works featuring electronic sounds and textures — often integrated with traditional acoustic instruments. We hear selections by Johann Johannson, Gity Razaz, Dustin O’Halloran, Olafur Arnalds and more. Listen now with host Steve Seel!
