A tranquil soundtrack of ice and frost ft. Alex Somers

Available for 27 days

Growing up on an island in the north sea, composer Erland Cooper is well used to the cold, and finds it a huge source of inspiration for him. For this episode, he reaches for musical selections inspired by frost, ice and snow, with recordings of glacial lakes and music from the likes of Peter Broderick, Vashti Bunyan and Hiroshi Yoshimura. Plus we travel to the safe haven of the American musician and composer Alex Somers. He shares one of his favourite pieces of music that he recommends listening to on repeat to get to a place of ultimate calm. Produced by Kit Callin A Reduced Listening production
