PGM 707R : "SLOW TIME"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : unlocking the mystery of relative motion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-31-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: TIME. We watch it, measure it, charge for it and, if we
have too much, we even try to kill it. But in the end, it's a
mystery. For centuries, musicians have played with time,
discovering that time is related to motion and rhythm — that
time is fluid, a perception that can be modified, if you
know how. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we try to
unlock the secrets of relative motion...on a program called
SLOW TIME.

PGM 813 "THE MUSIC OF MYST"

PGM 813 : "THE MUSIC OF MYST"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey in mythic soundworlds
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-24-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: One of the great inspirations to brilliant computer
programmers and offbeat artists everywhere is the story
of brothers RAND and ROBYN MILLER — creators of the hit
computer game MYST.

From the first CD-ROM edition in 1993, the MYST franchise
evolved through four sequels and a spinoff, sold over 12 million
games and spawned six soundtrack albums, three novels, several
comics, and an online version.

Inspired by Jules Verne's "Mysterious Island," from the beginning
the Miller brothers blazed their own trail, setting new content and
visual standards,and ultimately changing the way people played
computer games. In a world of gory, violent "first person shooters,"
MYST invented its own category, with immersive environments
of stunning artistic quality, texture and atmosphere, and a focus
on puzzle-solving in a moral universe driven by a mythic story.

The original music of MYST was the work of ROBYN MILLER. In
addition to his graphic talents, he was a fine ambient/electronic
musician. Subtle, deep and atmospheric, his music set the tone
for the emotional experience of MYST. Sequels were scored by
ROBYN MILLER, JACK WALL, and TIM LARKIN.

PGM 812 : "DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the sound of tranquility in motion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-17-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: These days, most of us move at an unprecedented pace.
We schedule ourselves to the minute, zip down the freeway
at speeds our ancestors could scarcely imagine, and run —
to keep fit. When it's time for a vacation, we go faster, and
jet off to another continent. No wonder, when we get there,
we find our bodies are lagging behind.

The ancient arts of Yoga and Tai Chi teach us how to find a
calm center in the midst of constant movement. And a group
of ambient electronic artists make music that creates this
sense of tranquility...in motion.

PGM 811 : "CRESCENT MOON"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey in the contemporary Turkish soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-10-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Modern Turkish music has come to us through a path as
complex and ornamental as Turkish calligraphy. Located in the
Eastern Mediterranean at the gateway to Central Asia, for
centuries Turkey was an economic and cultural crossroads,
absorbing influences from Persian, Byzantine, Southern
European, and Middle Eastern traditions...and cross-pollinating
them with its own rich heritage.

For most of the 600 years of the Ottoman empire, Turkey
dominated the region. When KEMAL ATATURK consciously
modernized Turkey in the early 20th century, western classical
and popular music were added to an already complex cultural
mix. Today Istanbul has one of the most vibrant and varied
musical scenes anywhere.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a journey in the
contemporary Turkish soundscape called CRESCENT MOON.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : searching for the slow, mellow heart of summer
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-03-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Summer...gets our motors running, as Americans
hit the road in our annual quest to relax, expand, squander
fossil fuel and warm the atmosphere.

It's a time for stretching boundaries, expanding the envelope,
exploring. Yet below the dynamic surface of the season, a
slower, more subtle experience awaits, if we can just slow
down enough to find it.
