Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 3Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 3

Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds leads another hour-long musical journey into calmness.

Get your hiking boots ready for this episode of Ultimate Calm, as Ólafur provides a selection of meditative music for long reflective walks, including tracks from the likes of Eydís Evensen, Nils Frahm and JFDR. He also shares stories of his hikes into the Icelandic highlands and how putting one foot in front of the other can help him order his thoughts.

Plus the singer, songwriter and pianist Sigrid takes us on a walk through the place she considers her safe haven, where she feels most calm - the woods near her home in Norway.
