A musical journey into calm
Escape with Icelandic composer and pianist Γlafur Arnalds for an hour-long sonic journey into calmness, with a selection of peaceful music and reflections.
Escape with Icelandic composer and pianist Γlafur Arnalds for an hour-long sonic journey seeking that all-too elusive feeling of calm.
In this first episode, Γlafur shares some of his go-to calming pieces of music from the likes of Dustin OβHalloran, Mary Lattimore and Hania Rani, alongside personal reflections on his own relationship with calmness.
Every episode of Ultimate Calm features a special guest who will transport listeners to the place they feel most calm - their own personal safe haven. Throughout the series we will be taken to safe havens all around the world, from guests including Sigrid, Jon Hopkins and Isobel Waller-Bridge. For this very first episode, Γlafur himself takes us to his own safe haven in the foothills of Battukaru, a dormant volcano in Indonesia.
