Soothing soundtracks ft. Atli 脰rvarsson
脫lafur Arnalds shares some of his favourite soothing soundtracks from films, TV and video games. Plus the composer Atli 脰rvarsson shares his musical safe haven.
Music has magical powers. It can tell stories, make us feel emotions, and transport us to distant worlds, simply through playing a certain combination of notes. In this episode of Ultimate Calm, 脫lafur Arnalds celebrates the art of the soundtrack - playing some of his favourite selections from the world of film, television and video games. We鈥檒l be transported to far-off planets, dive beneath the waves and dabble in time-travel, with soundtracks from Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir, Jerskin Fendrix and Andrew Prahlow.
Plus we鈥檒l hear from someone with a great deal of experience in the area of soundtracks, the Bafta-winning Icelandic composer Atli 脰rvarsson. Atli shares his musical safe haven, the track that brings him ultimate calm, a reflective, thought-provoking piece that helps him disconnect from daily worries, be still and breathe.
