Soothing sounds of spring feat. Arlo Parks
Icelandic composer 脫lafur Arnalds selects seasonal music to put a spring in your step. Plus the musician Arlo Parks shares the track that brings her ultimate calm.
Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another unique musical journey that seeks to find that all too elusive feeling of calm.
In this episode, 脫lafur takes his lead from the blossoming abundance of this time of year, with music inspired by the joys of spring. He selects songs that feel like emerging from the cold of winter into the sun, with pieces from Christian L枚ffler, Virginia Astley and Hania Rani.
Plus the Mercury Prize winning singer-songwriter Arlo Parks selects her sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings her ultimate calm. Arlo shares the track that she says is her 鈥榖rain toothpaste鈥� - a piece of ambient music from an old video game, that gives her the space to think.
Produced by Katie Callin.
