Music from the heart feat. JFDR

脫lafur Arnalds explores musical matters of the heart with soothing love-inspired selections. Plus Icelandic singer-songwriter JFDR shares the track that brings her ultimate calm.

Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another unique musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm.

For this episode, 脫lafur shares music from the heart with a selection of soothing songs related to love. Music is often the way that people express their love for others, whether romantic, platonic or familial, when we don鈥檛 have the words to describe it. 脫lafur shares heart-shaped tracks from Sandrayati, Emahoy Tsegu茅-Maryam Gu猫brou and Kjartan Sveinsson, and reflects on his own relationship with music and the matters of the heart - 鈥渆very song that I鈥檝e ever made has been for love鈥.

Plus, the Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist JFDR selects her sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings her ultimate calm. She chooses a track by a friend of hers that transports her to a certain time of her life, that is both meditative and meaningful for her.
