Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey to the very heart of calmness.

In this episode, 脫lafur takes inspiration from the calming sounds of the natural world, pulling out pieces featuring birdsong, as well as compositions that aim to help flowers grow. He shares music from the likes of Einojuhani Rautavaara, Peter Broderick and Grouper, and shares his own reflections on nature鈥檚 calming influence and how birdsong is the original earworm.

Every episode of Ultimate Calm features a special guest who will transport listeners to the place they feel most calm - their own personal safe haven. For this nature-inspired episode, the English producer and composer Jon Hopkins takes us to his own safe haven, a particular memory he has of emerging from caves in the Amazonian rainforest.
