Ultimate Calm Erland Cooper: Series 5
Episode 10 of 12

Take a forage in the forest with Erland Cooper, and a selection of peaceful music inspired by the trees. Plus a safe haven from Japanese sound artist and composer Hiroshi Ebina.

Throughout this series of Ultimate Calm, Scottish composer Erland Cooper has been looking to nature for inspiration. In this episode, we turn our attention to the lungs of the planet, as Erland enters the forest floor and shares soothing pieces to lift us up to the canopy, from musicians including Memotone, Róis and Felbm.

Plus, we travel to the musical safe haven of Japanese sound artist and composer, Hiroshi Ebina. He shares a minimalist composition which always helps him to come to a place of peace.
