Float away with Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for an hour-long musical journey into an ocean of calm.

This week, Ólafur taps into the sounds of the sea and shares music inspired by the ocean, from the lapping of waves to songs inspired by lighthouses. There are pieces from Gustav Holst, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou and Amiina, and Ólafur reflects on his own relationship with the sea from his studio on the harbour in Reykjavík.

Plus the Seattle-based electronic duo ODESZA transport us to their safe haven, the place they feel most calm, on the shore of Lake Washington, and talk about the calming powers of water.
