Hania Rani Instagram – I’m delighted to announce that I’m taking over the show ‘Ultimate Calm’ on BBC Radio 3 after my wonderful friend Olafur Arnalds.
I was really excited to get this opportunity as I am listening to the radio on a daily basis and most of the time it’s actually BBC 3. I wondered for a while how to approach – while staying within the show’s framework yet proposing something new and personal. I decided to invite to the show artists who I genuinely admire and who commune with music on a slightly different level – as filmmakers, activists, visual artists or other creatives. We will approach the silence and calmness as a space for exploration rather than passive rest revealing to your ears a bit more experimental flavours and other shades or ‘nothingness’. Huge thanks to wonderful producers Kit and Silas who helped me tame my scattered thoughts into a solid entity.
You can listen to my new series on @bbcradio3 starting today at 10 pm and from Monday 21 April on BBC Sounds. Search ‘Ultimate Calm’ on BBC Sounds to subscribe and listen.
I’m thrilled to have @shabakahutchings as my first guest at the show dedicated to the ‘Moon’.
Thanks also to all the other wonderful guests who will join me on next episodes: Portico Quartet, Alvaro Barrington, Agnes Obel, Joachim Trier, Ben Rivers, Patrick Watson, Hideo Kojima, Cate Le Bon, Actress, Hinoko Omori and Julia Holter.
I love and admire you all! | Posted on 20/Apr/2025 18:25:18
