Available for 299 days

Scottish composer Erland Cooper takes us to the shoreline for this episode, drawing on his experiences growing up on a rock surrounded by the North Sea and the wild elements. He shares music that ebbs and flows, with wading seabirds, drifting boats, drones and tones, including Claire M Singer, Mary Lattimore and Peter Maxwell Davies. Plus we travel to the musical safe haven of another Scottish composer, Anna Meredith. She shares the Messiaen piece that always reminds her to take a breath.
