SeriesÓlafur Arnalds: Series 1

Sunrise-inspired sounds feat. Ry X

Ultimate Calm

Available for 267 days

Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds guides us on another hour-long musical journey into calm. This week, Ólafur takes inspiration from one his favourite times of day - dawn. He shares music that captures the beauty of sunrises in sound from Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt and Dustin O’Halloran, and reflects on how dawn seems to be the time that most of his ideas come to him. Plus the Australian singer and songwriter Ry X transports us to his safe haven, the place he feels most calm, with the soothing sounds of the waves on the coast of California where he lives. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
