Ólafur Arnalds: Series 1

Sunrise-inspired sounds feat. Ry X

Duration: 59 minutes

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

Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds guides us on another hour-long musical journey into calm.

This week, Ólafur takes inspiration from one of his favourite times of day - dawn. He shares music that captures the beauty of sunrises in sound from Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt and Dustin O’Halloran, and reflects on how dawn seems to be the time that most of his ideas come to him.

Plus the Australian singer and songwriter Ry X transports us to his safe haven, the place he feels most calm, with the soothing sounds of the waves on the coast of California where he lives.
