Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey seeking out that elusive feeling of calm. In this episode, Ólafur takes us on a sleepy sonic journey to the land of nod, with a selection of dreamy music. He shares music from Brambles, Debussy and Sigur Ros, and reflects on his own relationship with sleep as well as the curious nature of Icelandic lullabies. Plus the actor Dominic Monaghan transports us to his Safe Haven, the place where he feels the most calm, with recordings and reflections from his garden. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
