PGM 819 : "BLACKWATER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a dark ambient journey for Halloween
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-26-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: At the end of October we celebrate Halloween, the
lingering expression of the Celtic pagan festival that marked
the final extinction of summer. It's a time when the dead were
said to revisit the mortal world, and large communal bonfires
were lit to ward off the dark spirits. Today it's devolved into
a commercial event for the candy industry, with an unusually
grim theme — while the fires, at least in California, are a
fearsome, destructive presence.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we wander in the
gloomy underworlds, ghostly chambers and haunted caverns,
on a program called...BLACKWATER.

PGM 678R : "LOST IN TRANSITION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : muted, restrained, floating: sonic equilibrium for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-19-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As we fall deeper into autumn's cooling embrace,
we arrive at a music of transition. Muted in color, restrained in
tempo, floating in space, receding...it invites us to contemplate
the eternal cycles of nature from a point of sonic equilibrium
within them.

PGM 818 : "AN AUTUMN GARDEN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a chamber~electronic journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-12-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Chamber music is an indoor art by definition.
Yet nothing underscores the complex colors of the autumn
landscape like thesound of a chamber group, especially
when it includes the plaintive tones of the cello, the oboe,
or the acoustic guitar.

In the fading light, the shadows grow longer, the days
grow shorter, and the
sounds of the season grow darker.
The natural world contracts...and prepares for the long
winter's sleep.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we echo the
season with a chamber-electronic journey for fall called
AN AUTUMN GARDEN.

PGM 817 "FLUTE RATTLE DRUM...SPACE"


(click program title above for 30 second MP3 promo clip)

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM 817 : "FLUTE RATTLE DRUM...SPACE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : gene-splicing Native flute and ambient electronics
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-05-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The "archaic revival" movement rediscovers forgotten
archetypes from our collective past. As MICKEY HART explained
in his book "Drumming at the Edge of Magic," when we look
back to the deepest origins of music, we rediscover the flute,
the rattle, and the drum."

On the North American continent, the native tribes built
their music on these elements — music for ritual, dance and
ceremony. At the end of the 20th century, the traditional genre
wastransformed when new instruments were added and the
cedar flute was popularized by Native musicians like CARLOS
NAKAI. Along with non-native and ambient musicians, they
opened up the tradition and expanded the sound to the scale
of the western landscape.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we track the
gene-splicing of Native American music with ambient
electronics and the American landcape, on a program called
FLUTE RATTLE DRUM...SPACE.
