Series Erland Cooper: Series 5
A beautiful soundtrack of melancholy ft. Patrick McDowell
Ultimate CalmAvailable for 27 days
Composer Erland Cooper invites us to roam alongside him amongst the vast musical landscapes that melancholy can bring, leaning on music and song to lift ourselves upwards, and to open the door to a feeling of hope. Bringing this series of Ultimate Calm to a close, Erland shares songs from some of the artists he tends to turn to when he needs his spirits to be lifted, including Jónsi and Alex Somers, Stars of the Lid and Adam Wiltzie, alongside new discoveries from Laurie Torres to Henriette Eilertsen. Plus, we’re transported to the musical safe haven of ethical fashion designer Patrick McDowell, who selects something that always brings a sense of calm during busy days in the studio. Produced by Cat Gough A Reduced Listening production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3 and Radio 3 Unwind
