SeriesErland Cooper: Series 5

Songs of solitude ft. Mary Lattimore

Ultimate Calm

Available for 301 days

Join Scottish composer Erland Cooper in the stillness of islands with a selection of music inspired by solitude. He shares beautifully solitary music from the likes of Alicia Jane Turner, Devendra Banhart and Trio Ramberget, reflecting on the power that comes from removing oneself and reconnecting with exactly what makes us human. Plus the LA based harpist and composer Mary Lattimore shares her musical safe haven, a song reminiscent of sun-soaked coffee mornings and finding peace with being alone. Produced by Connor Gani A Reduced Listening production
