Slow Sunday: Musician and composer Hannah Peel shares the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of her life

Hannah talks to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about how music affects her mental health and well-being, sharing the songs that have comforted and connected.

The award-winning series is back! Hannah Peel, the Northern Irish electronic artist, composer and broadcaster talks candidly to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about her life, and how music affects her mental health and well-being. Hannah shares the songs that have comforted and connected and also reveals how she expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through writing her own music.

The Mercury Prize and Emmy-nominated artist often includes classical scoring and sound design in her work, with references to the links between science and nature. She has scored for television, film, theatre and dance, including the music for 'Game of Thrones: The Last Watch'.

Hannah works closely with Paul Weller, providing the orchestrations for his last three albums, and has collaborated with John Foxx, the poet Will Burns, and as a member of The Magnetic North. Her latest collaboration, 'The Unfolding', is with Bristol鈥檚 Paraorchestra, a unique ensemble of disabled and non-disabled musicians. The record was made while navigating the restrictions of the global pandemic.

In this very special episode, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, Hannah shares her memories of family, conflict and loss. She also talks about how she calms her mind with music and the importance of the natural world to her. Featuring music from brass bands to R.E.M, Tracey Chapman to Jeff Buckley and Hannah's own work, it's the perfect sound-track for a Slow Sunday.
