   PGM 743 : "REMASTERPIECE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : classical masterworks gone ambient/electronic
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 9-30-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: It was funk music genius and former hair stylist
   GEORGE CLINTON who observed years ago that, in one respect,
   music was just like hair; when one style was getting hot,
   another one was getting cold. So if you wanted to be successful,
   you had to be able to adapt to the new styles.
      Something like that happened to classical music in the late
   1960's. Electronic musicians did restyled versions of great
   classical pieces to showcase their new sound on familiar material.
   The original and by far the most famous of these projects was
   WENDY CARLOS' "Switched-On Bach" which sold over 3 million albums
   and introduced several generations of listeners to the sound of
   synthesizers.
      The idea continues today. On this transmission of HEARTS of
   SPACE, a program of electronic transcriptions of classical
   masterworks called REMASTERPIECE.

   PGM 742 : "SHIBUI"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : subtle spaces of the Japanese soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 9-23-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: The Japanese idea of beauty extends from brash and bold to
   the ideal of beauty, called shibui. Shibui means an understated
   kind of beauty, a quality that speaks quietly, for itself.
   Shibui objects have a refined, unobtrusive sophistication. They
   embody utility, maturity, complexity, history -- the patina that
   only time can bring: a deeply spiritual kind of elegance, rooted
   in the quiet appreciation of nature.
      Today, both Japanese and western musicians attracted by this
   aesthetic are creating fusions of traditional Japanese and
   contemporary ambient music.

   PGM 537R : "WEIGHTLESS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : an anti-gravity journey on floating electronic waves
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 9-16-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: ...Saw an item in the paper recently about the Russian
   space program. Seems they're so desperate for money to keep going,
   they're going to sell cosmonaut rides to anyone for $80,000
   a pop. The highlight of the experience is about two minutes of
   weightlessness in a special plane that climbs really high and
   then dives down in a huge arc. If you don't get sick, it's
   supposed to be big fun.
   
   On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE called "WEIGHTLESS,"
   we're going to bring you almost a whole hour of floating spacemusic
   pretty much for free, and it's guaranteed not to cause any motion
   sickness. In fact, it's a very pleasant sensation.

PGM 741 "SUMMERTRONICA 2"

(click title to play 30 second audio promo)

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : warm-blooded ambient for high summer
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FIRST BROADCAST : 2-Sep-2005
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO : How to make sense of the now endless permutations of electronic sound? 
is the question. Styles and categories have multiplied, verging on 'distinctions 
without a difference.' A more intuitive set of descriptions might serve us better: 
warm to cold; dark to light; active to relaxed; dense to spacious. Hopefully, 
it won't be any more complicated than trying to describe a good cabernet. 

In the so-called "Celestial Jukebox" of the near future, perhaps you'll be able 
to order music from a menu of qualities: "Computer: play me something 
medium active, spatially expanded, with amber harmonies and timbres of 
mahogany and silver." 

Today, electronic musicians have the creative fun of choosing these qualities 
in the studio, as part of the craft of 'sound design'; we still get to have the 
fun of bringing their work together for you on these programs; and with 
some easy software, you can now do it yourself if you like. 

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a warm, spatially open, mildly 
mysterious ambient collection for high summer called SUMMERTRONICA 2.

The HOS Playlist blog

Starting this week, we will make the HOS weekly playlists available via a standard RSS feed. To make your information gathering more efficient, you will now be able to see the playlist using an RSS reader. If you're reading this, you probably know what I'm referring to. If not, check out one of the free, online RSS readers like Bloglines.

To encourage a little more interaction with our listeners and between our listeners, I have enabled comments. Please feel free to add your comments on each show.

We're also including our weekly 30 second promo for each show along with the playlist feed as an MP3 "podcast" enclosure. Just click the title of the show to play it. Sadly, we are still not able to offer the entire program via this very friendly technology due to copyright restrictions.

As on our web site, the highlighted links within the playlist take you to the Amazon.com page for that album. The audio samples there will help you to confirm that this is the album you are looking for.

Thanks for your interest in, and support of, the music we bring you on Hearts of Space!
