About this episode

This episode explores contemporary music pieces that reflect on cosmic themes and the idea of crossing into unfamiliar territory.

Today's Sound Perimeter features Metacosmos by Anna Thorvaldsdóttir , a contemporary piece inspired by the idea of crossing into unfamiliar territory, taking listeners inside a universe where forces are felt more than explained. We then turn to Venus, the Bringer of Peace from The Planets by Gustav Holst, where the cosmos becomes a place of reflection rather than fear, imagining Venus as a planet in a state of calm within a vast and mysterious universe.
