Music for disappearing into darkness ft. Hideo Kojima

Ultimate Calm Hania Rani: Series 4
Episode 4 of 12

Escape into the unknown with Hania Rani and a soundtrack of sounds inspired by disappearing into darkness. Plus, we visit the musical safe haven of video game creator Hideo Kojima.

Lose yourself for an hour by escaping into the unknown… Polish composer, pianist and vocalist Hania Rani invites you to disappear into darkness with her, with calming musical selections to help you let go of worldly worries. There’ll be music by Nala Sinephro, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Gustav Holst, and Hania shares some of her own recordings from a recent trip to Tokyo as well as a quote from one of her favourite novels.

Plus, we’re transported to the musical safe haven of the pioneering video game designer Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, among many others. A person who conjures up such chaos and excitement in his own work, Hideo introduces the music he turns to when he needs to find ultimate calm.
