Calming cinematic soundtracks feat. Isobel Waller-Bridge
Settle in with Ólafur Arnalds as he flicks through his film collection to share some favourite soundtracks. Plus composer Isobel Waller-Bridge transports us to her ‘Safe Haven’.
Escape with Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey into calmness.
In this week’s episode, Ólafur flicks through his film collection to share some of his favourite scores and soundtracks that totally transport their audiences, painting pictures through sound. There’ll be the sounds of deep-sea diving, wanders through the wilderness and even the most peaceful-sounding alien invasion from composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Galya Bisengalieva.
Plus the British composer Isobel Waller-Bridge invites us to join her in her safe haven, the place she feels most calm, listening to the birds and the wind through the trees on Hampstead Heath in London.
