Ólafur Arnalds’s Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker selects new sounds from the latest ambient and experimental releases, and Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds is in the Listening Chair.

Ólafur Arnalds is an Icelandic composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer known for his delicate and expansive neoclassical works that bridge the worlds of classical and pop music. Sitting in the Unclassified Listening Chair, he shares a track that transports him to a place of calm. Elsewhere in the show, Elizabeth offers up new sounds from the latest ambient and experimental releases, including music from Daniel Pioro, Dane Law and Neal Heppletson.
