SeriesÓlafur Arnalds: Series 3

Musical peace and quiet ft. Kelly Lee Owens

Ultimate Calm

Available for 322 days

This journey into calm is dedicated to two of the most valuable things in the world - peace and quiet. Icelandic pianist and composer Ólafur Arnalds allows the music to speak for itself today, with plenty of spacious selections. Ólafur shares pieces that use pauses and silences, giving us ample time to sit and reflect in the gentle quiet, from musicians like Helena Basilova, Jónsi and JJJJJerome Ellis. Plus we’ll visit the musical safe haven of the Welsh electronic musician and producer Kelly Lee Owens. Kelly shares the song that brings her ultimate calm - a lengthy track of swirling synths that always gives her the time and space to dream, switch off and find peace. Produced by Kit Callin & Derick Armah A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 3 Unwind
