Ultimate Calm Hania Rani: Series 4
Episode 2 of 12

Polish composer and pianist Hania Rani shares meditative music to restore and remedy. Also, Hinako Omori presents the celestial piece that holds her like a warm blanket.

Polish composer, pianist, and vocalist Hania Rani has long been interested in how music can influence our emotions, minds, and bodies. In this episode of Ultimate Calm, she shares musical selections that she turns to for sonic healing and meditation, including the likes of John Cage, Kali Malone, and Abel Selaocoe.

Also, we hear from the Japanese singer and sound artist Hinako Omori, whose music weaves together ambient sounds with therapeutic frequencies. Hinako transports us to her musical safe haven—a celestial selection that wraps around her like a warm blanket.
