Soothing music for sleep feat. Dominic Monaghan

Journey to the land of nod, with a sleepy soundtrack from 脫lafur Arnalds. Plus, actor Dominic Monaghan transports us to the safe haven of his garden.

Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey seeking out that elusive feeling of calm.

In this episode, 脫lafur takes us on a sleepy sonic journey to the land of nod, with a selection of dreamy music. He shares music from Brambles, Debussy and Sigur Ros, and reflects on his own relationship with sleep as well as the curious nature of Icelandic lullabies.

Plus, the actor Dominic Monaghan transports us to his Safe Haven, the place where he feels the most calm, with recordings and reflections from his garden.
