On the latest episode of Extra Eclectic, we’re looking skyward, toward both the sun and the stars. Our “night” music includes Meredith Monk’s Nightfall, John Luther Adams’ Sky With Endless Stars, and a selection from Max Richter’s eight-hour opus, Sleep. Daytime is represented by such works as Howard Skempton's Eternity's Sunrise and Terry Riley’s Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector. Listen now with host Steve Seel!
