Grounded sounds of belonging ft Alvaro Barrington

Ultimate Calm

Available for 113 days

Polish composer, pianist, and vocalist Hania Rani believes that belonging can be found not only in people and places but also through sound. In this episode, she shares musical selections that explore connection and rootedness - from Karol Szymanowski’s folk-imbued piano to Julius Eastman’s powerful minimalism. She reflects on how music carries personal and collective stories across generations and borders. And we’re transported to the musical safe haven of artist Alvaro Barrington, who shares his thoughts on memories and community. Produced by Silas Gray A Reduced Listening production
