Amy Harman and Keelan Carew add five more tracks

Bassoonist Amy Harman and pianist Keelan Carew take us from a gentle nursery rhyme to an action-packed TV theme as they add the next five tracks with Cerys and Jeffrey.

Bassoonist Amy Harman and pianist Keelan Carew are today's guests in the studio with Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye as they add the next five tracks to the playlist.

From a gentle nursery rhyme, the musical links take us to a Russian dance, a celebration of the Earth's origins in Estonia, and a testosterone-fuelled TV theme with helicopters and machine guns.

Dr Peter J Bentley discusses the increasing use - and challenges - of Artificial Intelligence in music, and the singer/songwriter Mari Kalkun tells us about the origins of her track Kui Kivid Olid Veel Pehmed.

Producer Jerome Weatherald
Presented, with music direction, by Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye
