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.
