INTRO: As the winter chill creeps into our souls, we return

the singing of hymns.

With timeless melodies cherished over thousands of years,
songs of praise, prayer and adoration never lose their appeal —
especially during difficult times — and the end of the year
holiday season when, singing together, the human family
renews its commitment to generosity, peace and goodwill
to all.

celebration called WINTER HYMNS.

PGM NOTE : ambient electronica for problem-solving
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-05-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Winter 2008: the weather is freezing...while the economy
is melting. With all the talk of recession, war, terrorism, and
planetary crisis, it's no wonder everyone's a little depressed.
Admit it, spacefan, you're wistful for those carefree days of
escapist entertainment and unlimited resources to squander.

Well, we know we can't go back, but how about an hour of
shiny new electronic waveforms while we focus on fixing things?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of ambient
electronica to energize and calm the mind for problem-solving
called RESOLUTION.

PGM 540R : GOTHICA
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a darkly ethereal, modern medieval journey for Fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-28-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When the definitive history of 20th century music is
written, there will be a short but intense chapter on the
phenomenon called GOTHIC.

It is in this darkly ethereal environment that atmospheric
electronics, medieval dirges, and high-style romantic pop genres
like Gothic Rock, Dreampop, Darkwave, Goth-Industrial and
Goth-Metal intersect, cross-pollinate, and breed new shades
of crimson roses.

On this edition of Hearts of Space, we explore some of the
sounds and metaphors of this area of ethereal space music
on a program called GOTHICA.

PGM 857 : "DUSK TO DUSK"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient/classical introspections for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-21-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When musical tradition meets creative innovation,
just about anything can happen. The results can be harmonious
or dissonant, fascinating or boring, exciting or torpid.

These days, you can find experiments of all kinds in the blandly
named "new music" genre. From the deliberate iconoclasm of
descendents of the 20th century Avant-Garde to the stirring pulses
of the minimalists, the heady abstractions of the conceptualists,
or the contemplative explorations of "deep listening" — classical
values are always being stretched and adapted into new forms.

On this late autumn transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore
the intersection of classical form and ambient space, with a
program of introspective journeys called DUSK TO DUSK.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : descending into the somber tonalities of fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-14-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Fall...is the season of descent. Everything is falling:
leaves, of course; the temperature; the amount of daylight; and
frequently the rain. The music of fall is darker, lower, shadowed,
mutable, with glints of gold — perfectly expressed by the complex
timbres of the cello, the oboe, and the piano.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the ambient
tonalities and sombre emotions of the autumn season, on a
program called...SHADOWPLAY.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a somber-but-hopeful dark ambient journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-07-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The turbulent days and storm-tossed nights of November
have their own special energy. All too often, it's an extended
tribulation on the long transition to the heart of winter, and
the redemptive light of the holiday season.

It's a time of recognition of things lost, and potentials to come;
melancholy...often painful...but infused with hope. This year the
transition takes on a special meaning, as we confront difficult
times and extraordinary changes.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a somber-but-hopeful
dark ambient journey for Scorpio called TRIBULATION.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a deep and cathartic journey for Scorpio
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-31-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Of all the year's transformations, the autumn transit of
the astrological house of SCORPIO is perhaps the most challenging,
for it is during this period that humans must confront the reality
of death and decay.

As the sun withdraws, the natural world withers and dies, and we
enter a gloomy realm attended by superstition, fear and doleful
emotions. These are the dark times...that try our souls.
Yet in these ultimate tribulations, lie the seeds of future growth.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a cathartic journey for Scorpio called TRANSMIGRATION.

PGM 855 : "MELOS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an autumnal excursion for piano and cello
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-24-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the pantheon of immortal combinations of musical
instruments, there must be a special temple for the piano and
cello. It's hard to think of another duo that offers more
musical possibilities, or draws more effectively on the
respective strengths of both instruments.

From the piano, we get effortless rhythmic definition, chords,
and harmonies; from the cello, long, singing lines and rich
overtones that stretch melody to the boundaries of expression.
Together, they define a musical landscape of emotional range,
depth, and beauty.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we celebrate the piano
and cello...on an autumnal journey derived from the Byzantine
hymns, traditional folk and sacred Sufi music of Central Asia...
called MELOS.

PGM 854 : "LOST CANYONS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a Native flute journey across the great western plateau
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-17-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Slow, reverent, in tune and in time with the rhythms of
nature: that's the signature feeling of the Native American flute.
Since its revival at the hands of a new generation of native
musicians in the 1960s, its gentle tones can now be heard on
hundreds of albums and soundtracks. But it seems most resonant
during Indian summer and autumn, when the light dims, and
smoke asettles over the fading tones of the natural world.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a Native flute journey
across the great western plateau...called LOST CANYONS.

PGM 853 : "INFINITE LOOPS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a descending, deflationary journey for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-10-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the early 1970s, English guitarist ROBERT FRIPP
of the seminal progressive rock band KING CRIMSON began a
series of experiments with tape delay echo loops that he came
to call "Frippertronics."

Fripp's collaboration with fellow electronic experimentalist
BRIAN ENO yielded two influential albums of treated electric
guitar and synthesizers. NO PUSSYFOOTING (from 1972)
and EVENING STAR (in 1974) defined a new sound:
the infinite spatial guitar.

Whether endlessly looped or indefinitely sustained, Fripp
transformed, expanded and dematerialized the electric guitar
by feeding it back on itself — and created one of the
foundations of today's ambient soundscapes.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we borrow a term
from computer programming, with a descending journey
for a deflationary fall called INFINITE LOOPS.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : oceanic sonics and the romance of the sea
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-03-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As deep as the ocean...as wide as the sea...goes the
popular phrase. At over 70% of our planet, the ocean is not only
the largest, but the most important natural feature on earth;
the source of all life, the engine of the weather — not to
mention an endless supply of metaphors. Musicians have long
been inspired by its vast expanse, its awesome power, its
mysterious depths.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a program of romantic spacemusic inspired by the ocean, called
OCEANIC.

PGM 852 : "PARVAZ (Flight)"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the poetic world of Persian fusion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-26-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Iran was in the news again this week, as its president
gave a theology lecture to members of the United Nations
General Assembly. Iran's nuclear program and involvement
with the conflict in Iraq could hardly be more controversial,
and all the political smoke effectively obscures the work of
Persian artists and musicians working to enrich an artistic
tradition that extends back before recorded history.

Parvaz is the Persian word for flight, and it's a rich metaphor
for a culture that has grown wings outside its homeland.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we fly into the
sublime world of Persian fusion music...on a program called
PARVAZ.

The rise of a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy in Iran in the
1980s had one unintended consequence: it helped to resurrect
Persian classical music, which had been devalued in the era of
Western cultural influences. The cross-cultural process continues
today, underground in Iran, and in Europe and the U.S., where
Persian artists are combining elements from their traditions
with contemporary sounds and instruments from other cultures.
