The peaceful sounds of dusk ft Ichiko Aoba

Escape into calm at dusk with Erland Cooper and a restorative soundtrack for nightfall. Plus the singer Ichiko Aoba shares the track that brings her ultimate calm.

There’s something very magical about the threshold when day becomes night. Composer and pianist Erland Cooper invites you to escape into calm with him, with musical selections inspired by watching the light fall at dusk. There’ll be music from Duval Timothy, Caroline Shaw and David Lynch.

Plus we’ll travel to the musical safe haven of singer, songwriter and guitarist Ichiko Aoba. She tells us about a piece of music that is often the first song she plays in an unfamiliar place, because it brings her instant calm.
