Brighten your day with a colour-filled soundtrack ft. Patrick Watson

Hania Rani paints in sound with music inspired by the full spectrum of colour. Plus, the Montreal singer-songwriter Patrick Watson transports us to his musical safe haven.

Brighten up your world with Polish composer, pianist, and vocalist Hania Rani as she shares an hour of musical selections inspired by the full spectrum of colour. Hania compares composers' work to visual artists’ and shares pieces that demonstrate this kind of ‘painting in sound’, including Maurice Ravel, Kaija Saariaho, and JJJJJerome Ellis.

Plus, we’re transported to the musical safe haven of someone else who paints in sound—the Montreal singer-songwriter Patrick Watson. He shares a track from the album he always returns to when he wants to slow the world down.
