PGM 761 : "INVERSION"

FEED DATE : 3-31-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Waiting out the seemingly endless period between winter
and spring can be a challenge. While our psyches are reaching
for release from the constricting grip of winter, our rational
minds must practice patience and equanimity. Ambient music can
help us expand and float across this transition on electronic
waves. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, an intra-
seasonal electronic journey called INVERSION.

PGM 721 "SUSPENDED SPRING"

PGM 721R : "SUSPENDED SPRING"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : floating in the space between winter and spring
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-24-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The long and inexorable road to spring sometimes requires
an extra measure of patience. In California, the first blossoms
appear early, bringing a precarious sense of hope, long before
the winter storms have passed. Confined indoors, movement
constrained, it's a good time for ambient music, with its
sustained mood of intimacy, warmth, and gentle ecstasy.

PGM 760 : "UNDERSCORE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : exploring the world of ambient film music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-17-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here's the thing about soundtrack albums: no matter how
good the music in the film is, you just never know how good the
CD will be.
Some of the best composers and studio musicians in the world
work on these projects. No expense is spared to record the music and
mix it into the film. Then, the soundtrack CD is thrown together in a
few days from dozens of short "cues," padded with "incidental music"
or songs from hot young bands, and rushed to market in time for the
film's opening. As listening experiences go, they're totally unpredictable:
you just never know.
Yet the original function of film music has a lot in common
with ambient and space music -- to color the environment, evoke
emotion, and underscore the action on the screen -- just like
ambient does to the action in your room.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : another journey in the contemplative Celtic soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-10-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In every country, the ballad is an invitation to stop,
listen and feel. Nowhere is this invitation more eloquently
tendered than in Celtic music. It's a tradition that's been
nurtured across the centuries. Whether the emotion is love,
sadness, joy, nostalgia, or peace -- the gorgeous melodies,
essential instruments, and sublime vocals go straight to
the heart.

PGM 758 : "INFINITE GUITARS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a retro-future-cosmic-twangy guitar journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-03-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Back in 1990, we did a program called "Mostly Infinite
Guitars" celebrating MICHAEL BROOK's effort to dematerialize the
electric guitar. The title was kind of cute, and we found more
music, so three years later we followed it up with an even cuter
one called "More Infinite Guitars."
Fast forward to 2006. Other guitar shows have come and gone,
and once again we have lots of great material for a new show.
We could call it "Still More Infinite Guitars," but you know, we
didn't really start this series properly. On this transmission of
Hearts of Space, a retro-future-ambient-guitar journey called
just plain "INFINITE GUITARS."
