Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another unique musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm. In this episode, allow yourself to dive in as Ólafur shares a selection of soothing songs inspired by water in all its forms. Ólafur takes inspiration from the oceans that surround his home of Reykjavik, as well as Iceland’s natural thermal pools and lagoons, and shares music from the likes of Joanna Brouk, Lisa Lerkenfeldt and Ravel. Plus, the DJ and expert music curator Mary Anne Hobbs selects her sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings her ultimate calm. She picks a track that helps her untangle the chaos of life and reminds her to slow down. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
