Cosmo Sheldrake joins host Raina Douris

In some ways, the strange, beautiful music of Cosmo Sheldrake sounds like nothing else. But it also sounds like everything. The English musician and composer is deeply inspired by the nature, blending field recordings and samples of wildlife noises with his own musical improvisation to create music that feels profoundly connected to the world around us. He performs songs from his new album, Eye To The Ear.
