Sounds exploring the beauty in absence

Ultimate Calm Hania Rani: Series 4
Episode 12 of 12

Hania Rani explores absence and minimalism through sound, and looks back at the series.

Polish composer, pianist and vocalist Hania Rani believes that absence can hold as much meaning as presence, offering spaces of stillness, suspension and reflection. In this final episode of the series, she shares delicate musical selections that explore invisibility and vanishing sound, with pieces by Laurie Spiegel, Morton Feldman and Joanna Brouk.

She reflects on the power of silence, the mystery of minimalism, and the emotional weight of what is left unsaid.
