Bedtime stories in sound feat. Rara Sekar
Let Ólafur Arnalds lull you to sleep with relaxing music perfect for bedtime stories. Plus the Indonesian singer Rara Sekar selects her musical safe haven.
Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another special musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm.
Tonight Ólafur takes musical inspiration from bedtime stories, sharing a relaxing soundtrack of songs and lullabies. To prepare you for the most peaceful night’s sleep possible, he shares soothing sleepy music from Lavinia Meijer, Snorri HallgrÃmsson and Erland Cooper.
Plus, the Indonesian singer-songwriter Rara Sekar shares her sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings her ultimate calm. Rara picks a piece of traditional Indonesian music that brings her peace and inspiration, and reflects on how even when music doesn’t sound obviously calming in the moment of listening, the calm can come afterwards.
