Music for daydreaming feat. Ibeyi

Ultimate Calm

Available for 320 days

Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another special musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm. This week, Ólafur shares a calming selection of music that conjures up the feelings of daydreaming and encourages your mind to wander. Let your imagination run wild with reflective tracks that paint pictures through sound, from Echo Collective and Four Tet to Josin and Akira Kosemura. Plus, the magical musical sister duo Ibeyi share their sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings them ultimate calm. Lisa-Kaindé picks a track from one of the pair’s favourite albums and musicians, that for them perfectly balances joy and sadness together. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
