Blissful body-related music feat. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Take a deep breath with Ólafur Arnalds and a selection of soothing music inspired by the body. Plus the composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith transports us to her ‘Safe Haven’.

Take a deep breath and join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey into calm.

This week, Ólafur looks inwards with a selection of music inspired by the body. He reflects on the importance of focusing on your breath and the sound of your own heartbeat in order to ground yourself, and shares music from Julianna Barwick, Ben Lukas Boysen and Richard Reed Parry.

Plus the American composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith transports us to her Safe Haven, the place where she feels the most calm - inside herself.
