PGM 746R : "SHAPESHIFTER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a dark ambient quest for a storm-tossed Scorpio night
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-27-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: A stormy night in Scorpio brings it's own little shop of
horrors — we're in the time when Celtic and Pagan tradition say
the dark spirits are closer to earth. Can you prove otherwise?
Appearances deceive...things are not what they seem...and we're
obliged to measure our fears. On this transmission of HEARTS of
SPACE, we brave the storm...and quest into the dark forest
on a program called SHAPESHIFTER.

PGM 782 "NOSTALGIA"

PGM 782 : "NOSTALGIA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an emotional landscape for autumn
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-20-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The word nostalgia originated in the 17th century as a
medical term for an illness caused by an intense desire to return
to one's native land. In time, it came to describe any strong
emotion driven by memory and desire for something in the imagined
past. "Nostalgia" writes LINDA HUTCHEON, "exiles us from the
present as it brings the imagined past near."
Nostalgia can be joyful, but more often it's marked by subdued
melancholy and longing — of losing oneself in a world of memory
and idealized projection. It has become a psychological condition,
an antidote to ironic detachment — incurable, because time moves
inexorably forward. In the modern world, the mythic journey, with
its themes of departure, farewell, exile, wandering, trial, and
return...evokes a powerful nostalgia, while the nostalgia for
simplicity, certainty and security...takes on a special appeal.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we explore the
emotional landscape of autumn with music for cello, piano,
orchestra and voices.

PGM 781 : "RECESSION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ebbing, descending, darkening: an electronic autumn soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-13-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Autumn: a time of recession...a majestic, inexorable
withdrawal of energy as the northern hemisphere retreats, by
degrees, from the sun. It's a time of cooling, shrinking, ebbing,
descending, darkening — of preparation for the challenges
of winter.
In music, it's the sound of smoky timbres, dissonant harmonies,
descending progressions, slow suspensions — the sound of
disengagement, retreat, escape.

PGM 780 "ALEGRIA"

(click program title to play 30 second audio promo)

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM 780 : "ALEGRIA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : romantic, playful, epic — music of Cirque du Soleil
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-06-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Despite frequent claims to the contrary, in show business
very few people have created something really new. GUY LALIBERTE,
founder of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL, is one of them.
With original partner DANIEL GAUTHIER and a small group of
street performers, Laliberte created Cirque du Soleil in Montreal
in 1984. Today, with over a dozen touring and resident productions,
including five in Las Vegas, Cirque du Soleil has become a kind of
benign entertainment empire, and Laliberte is one of the richest
men in Canada.
Cirque du Soleil modernized and extended the circus tradition
by eliminating animals, creating narrative storylines, and adding
elements of street performance, opera, ballet, rock and theater,
plus wildly creative costumes, dazzling stagecraft, and live
original music.
