SeriesHania Rani: Series 4

Music to drift through memories ft Joachim Trier

Ultimate Calm

Available for 113 days

Polish composer, pianist and vocalist Hania Rani believes that forgetting can be just as powerful as remembering, allowing space for softness, drifting and reinvention. In this episode, she shares evocative musical selections that capture the sensation of memory dissolving: from the ambient minimalism of Peter Conradin Zumthor and Romeo Poirier to the cinematic textures of Mica Levi and Tangerine Dream. Hania also reflects on film music as an art form, exploring how spaces, sounds, and emotions are woven together in memory. And we’re transported to the musical safe haven of acclaimed Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier, who shares the song that brings him ultimate calm. Produced by Silas Gray A Reduced Listening production
