In this episode, we take a look at music in the middle, that is, music that authentically and substantially bridges disparate musical styles, or combines unrelated sound worlds, or borrows ideas from one mode of musical creation and applies them to another. Examples are many and varied, and I have a strong suspicion lots of listeners will find something new and interesting to listen to.

Examples for this episode, with links to acquire them should your interest be piqued (and it should be, because these were some fun examples):

• The Beatles, Eleanor Rigby
• Against Me!, Pints of Guinness Make You Strong
• WHY?, The Vowels, Pt. 2
• Trioscapes, Blast Off
• Björk, Joga & Cvalda
• Sufjan Stevens, Get Real, Get Right & Impossible Soul
• Sarah Kirkland Snider, Penelope
• Eric Whitacre, Virtual Choir 4: Fly to Paradise
• Mason Bates, Alternative Energy, The B-Sides, and Digital Loom
