Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for one more musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm. In the final episode of the series, Ólafur looks inward with a selection of musical metamorphoses - calming songs inspired by a sense of transformation. He reflects on how we are always transforming ourselves in little ways, and how music plays a part in that, with tracks by Philip Glass, Alice Sara Ott, Boards of Canada and more. Plus our last guest is the award-winning American musician and producer FINNEAS, who shares his sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings him ultimate calm. FINNEAS selects a nostalgic song that he has vivid memories of listening to in so many different situations, that always manages to settle him. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
