It’s a rhapsodic reflection on the idea of time in the first hour of the latest episode of Extra Eclectic. Host Steve Seel shares Chris Rogerson’s Thirty Thousand Days — roughly the length of time in the average human lifespan — and Paul Fowler’s Breath reminds us how yoga and meditation use breathing as a way to free the mind from the constraints of time. In the second hour, Steve explores music by some rock-adjacent composers, including Bryce Dessner, Jon Lord and Todd Reynolds. Listen now!
