The grounding sounds of nature ft. Cosmo Sheldrake

Available for 303 days

Ground yourself… In this episode, Scottish composer Erland Cooper invites you to place your ear to the soil and dig deep with a selection of reflective music that celebrates our connection with the world around us. He reflects on one of his own projects that involved burying a tape deep in the peaty earth of Orkney, and shares pieces that honour nature from the field recordings of Alice Boyd and the RSPB, to the folk songs of Sam Lee and Trans Voices. Plus we’re transported to the musical safe haven of another ecologically minded musician, Cosmo Sheldrake. Cosmo’s own music platforms environmental issues and the entangled nature of our world, and for his safe haven selects a recording of forest singing that always brings him calm.
