INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a 1984 program called
SEA AND SKY — a tribute to two of the most inspiring environments
on earth, and theme for countless artistic expressions throughout
the ages. SEA AND SKY is also the title of the major work on the
program, one of the first successful integrations of synthesizers
and symphony orchestra...by Japanese composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
A fearless experimenter, YAMASHTA has had a unique and varied
international career as a percussionist and composer of popular
electronic music and scores for film and theater.
We'll also hear images of the sea and sky of ANTARCTICA from a
film soundtrack by VANGELIS, and conclude with early atmospheric
electronic music by STEVE ROACH.
