Take flight with the sound of birdsong ft. Jacob Collier

Ultimate Calm 脫lafur Arnalds: Series 3
Episode 10 of 12

Fly away with 脫lafur Arnalds and a selection of birdsong and bird-inspired pieces. Plus the multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier shares a field recording of his safe haven.

Across three series of Ultimate Calm, there is one particular sound that seems to feature more than any other - birdsong. Birds have been inspiring humans with their songs, their flights and fancies for centuries - this episode is dedicated to them.

脫lafur Arnalds shares a selection of music that features birdsong, or is inspired by the birds themselves, from the likes of Patricia Wolf, Ottorino Respighi and the duo of Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita.

Plus we get to hear another, very unusual, kind of birdsong through the safe haven of the inventive singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier. He shares a field recording he made during a concert in Helsinki, and explains how chaos brings him a feeling of calm.
