Seeking calm on the horizon ft. Stuart Braithwaite

Ultimate CalmErland Cooper: Series 6
Episode 5 of 12

Erland Cooper looks to find calm on the horizon with soothing, reflective songs. Plus Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite transports us to his musical safe haven.

As someone who grew up surrounded by the North Sea, musician and composer Erland Cooper finds that looking out to where the sky touches the sea is his one true reset. In this episode, Erland plays songs and compositions to take us along with him on a journey to find calm on the horizon, including music from Kelly Moran, Adrianne Lenker and Laurie Torres.

And we visit the musical safe haven of Mogwai’s guitarist Stuart Braithwaite. He shares one of his favourite pieces of music that helps him to escape from the everyday.
